MargaretTeresa Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 [quote name='she_who_is_not' timestamp='1308258008' post='2254757'] This is fun. This order was founded by an American woman who has been declared Venerable and has a miracle currently under investigation for purposes of her beatification. They are located in Louisiana,Texas, California, D.C, Alabama and also have sisters in Central America and Africa. [/quote] Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady?

InPersonaChriste Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 This particular community was founded on All Saints' Day 1975 in Paris France, founded by a man who lived as a hermit for two years prior to founding the community.

she_who_is_not Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 [quote name='DarleneSteinemann' timestamp='1308259295' post='2254767'] More information for my answer - [b]Society of the Holy Child Jesus[/b] is an international community of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nun"]nuns[/url] that was founded in England in 1846 by Philadelphia-born [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelia_Connelly"]Cornelia Connelly[/url] and they have 3 provinces- US, Europe and Africa. Cornelia Connelly is on the Most Verable list. [/quote] Good guess Darlene, but I was thinking of The Sisters of the Holy Family, founded in New Orleans by Ven. Henriette de Lille who was a free woman of color. This is such a cool way to learn about the variety of religious orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
