At 113, Dominican sister named world's oldest nun for second year

Dominican sister who turned 113 April 20 has once again captivated international attention after Guinness World Records has named her as the world's oldest nun — for the second year in a row.

Sr. Francis Dominici Piscatella, Italian American from Long Island, New York, has been a religious sister for 95 years. Last year the record-keeping organization gave Piscatella the same title of "oldest nun," and with it came widespread attention in national media: She has appeared in People magazine, the New York Post and "Good Morning America," as well as in local newscasts and international outlets.
