"As she arrives at the back door of Operation Breakthrough, escorted by one of the center's employees, Sister Corita Bussanmas is greeted like a visiting celebrity. It's not for several minutes that she finally makes her way through the phalanx of friends, colleagues, and workers at the center, and heads for a basement office to be interviewed.
"In 1971, Sister Bussanmas, along with Sister Berta Sailer, founded Operation Breakthrough, a large day-care center on the east side of Kansas City, Mo. Since then, it has grown into the largest single-site early education and social service provider in the state, touching the lives of thousands of people."
A recent Christian Science Monitor article reported on Operation Breakthrough's history and ministry and on the efforts of Sr. Corita and Sr. Berta, both Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the process.
