This is driving me insane. This TV show aired in the late 80s or early 90s and was about a nun who ran kind of an orphanage or home for foster children. One of the kids was in a wheelchair, and I think the nun is some semi-famous actress. Does anyone know the name of this show?

Could it possibly be Sister Kate?

Sounds like Sister Kate to me, too. But would Stephanie Beecham really be considered “semi-famous?”
