Neophyte Indian girls, attending the school at the Mission San Diego de Alcalá, celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi on May 24, 1894. More than a half-century earlier, Doña Apolinaria Lorenzana, known as La Beata (the pious one), devoted herself to the church and to teaching girls to read and write catechism.
