Sister Mary Scullion

AGE: 55
OCCUPATION: Philadelphia's Mother Theresa
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 2

PRO: This Sisters of Mercy nun has helped slash homeless rates in half in the City of Brotherly Love. And over 95 percent of those who cycle through her Project H.O.M.E. program have never again been forced to live on the streets, a success rate which has made the program a model for dozens of other U.S. cities.

CON: She's not too well known outside of Philly.
