Plot hole: All the girls at St. Francis are in their mid-teens and have families who can afford to send them to private Catholic school, so these are not orphans or underprivileged children. However, we are supposed to believe that none of the girls own or wear bras, shocking the Mother Superior when she sees them in their dance leotards. The nuns then take the girls shopping to buy each one a bra.
Mother Superior: This is a Catholic school Mr. Gottschalk.
