Sisters of St. Casimir have a substantial collection of Lithuanian cultural and religious artifacts beautifully displayed in several rooms of the Motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Casimir and across the hallway a library containing hundreds of books and periodicals on Lithuania, many of them in Lithuanian. The library contains the collections of Rev. Anthony Staniukynas, co-founder of the Sisters of St. Casimir, and of mother Maria Kaupas, the founder. The rest was collected by Sister Perpetua from donations and through selective purchases.
