The Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau is launching a ‘Called DIOCESE OF SPRINGFIELD—CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI GIRARDEAU, OF SPRINGFIELD—CAPE DIOCESE by Name,’ program, inviting adults to prayerfully consider younger members of their family or friends who they feel may have the qualities to be a priest or religious brother or sister and make a referral to the bishop.

  • History of the Society of the Sacred Heart in the Archdiocese of St. Louis
    History of the Society of the Sacred Heart in the Archdiocese of St. Louis August 22, 1818 After traveling up the Mississippi River from New Orleans in the steamboat Franklin, Rose Philippine Duchesne and her four companions arrive at the Market Street landing in St. Louis; they are the first women religious in St. Louis. They first arrived in this country from France earlier that year, on the Feast of the Sacred Heart, May 29, 1818. September 7, 1818 Bishop Louis Dubourg sends the five religious to St. Charles, where they take up life in the “Duquette Mansion,” near the Missouri River. September 14, 1818 Philippine and her companions open the first free school west of the Mississippi, with twenty-two girls too poor to pay any tuition. This is the beginning of the Academy of the Sacred Heart and international Sacred Heart education. October 3, 1818 The boarding school opens with three girls from St. Louis: Emilie and Therese Pratte and their cousin, Pelagie Chouteau. 1819-1846 The St. Charles location proves to be too remote to attract students, so on September 3-6, 1819, the nuns and their boarding pupils move to a new location, in Florissant, now the Old St. Ferdinand Shrine. They are unable to move into the promised building until December 21-24. The new site is home to a boarding school and school for Indian girls, and eventually a novitiate (1820-1842). 1820 Mary Ann Layton from Perryville, enters the Society of the Sacred Heart at Florissant, the first vocation from America. She is followed soon after by Emilie St.

  • Bernard Martial & Philippine Duchesne
    BERNARD MARTIAL and PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE: TWO MISSIONARIES to LOUISIANA By Emory C. Webre 6542 Winnebago Street St. Louis, MO 63109 [email protected] Father Bertrand (Bernard) Martial, a priest from Bordeaux, France, served under bishops in four dioceses on two continents and was closely connected with important events in the dioceses of Bordeaux, Bardstown, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Detroit, as well activities in France and Italy. There are at least 83 documents in the files of the Propaganda Fide in Rome that are related to him in some way. I have located close to 250 letters from, to, or about him written during the years 1817 to 1835. He influenced the selection of one bishop in the United States and the rejection of another, and was himself considered for the Sees of New Orleans and Vincennes. He founded schools in Bordeaux, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He escorted a future saint on her voyage to New Orleans and St. Louis. He was associated with three communities of religious women: the Religious of the Sacred Heart in St. Louis, Missouri, the Ursulines in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Kentucky. 1. FATHER BERNARD MARTIAL Born in Bordeaux, France about 1770, Bertrand Martial studied for the priesthood, first, in France, and then in Italy when the French Revolution forced the closing of Catholic seminaries. A death notice in the Paris journal, l’Ami de la religion et du roi, gave some details of his life before he came to Louisiana. The death of Father Martial, in New Orleans, has stirred fitting remorse in Bordeaux, where he lived for some time, and where he rendered services that will not be forgotten.

  • Missouri's Pioneer Nun “Canonization! That's Wonderful,” Said Virginia Robyn of St. Louis County, Who Is 91
    06H Missouri's Pioneer Nun 1 [3261 words] Missouri’s Pioneer Nun Patricia J. Rice First published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Magazine, August 23, 1987 Reprinted with permission of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, copyright 1987 “Canonization! That’s wonderful,” said Virginia Robyn of St. Louis County, who is 91. Her grandmother, Mary Knott Dyer, who was a student of Mother Duchesne, told her the girls vied to thread their beloved teacher’s sewing needle when her sight was failing. Mother Duchesne, who was born in France, stepped off the steamboat, Franklin, at St. Louis in 1818. All but one of her remaining thirty-eight years were spent in St. Charles, Florissant, and St. Louis, teaching girls. In St. Charles she founded the first free school west of the Mississippi, and in Florissant, she began the first school for native Americans west of the river. She and the four nuns that came with her were the first nuns to settle here. She was a voluminous correspondent; her 528 surviving letters and a convent journal she kept are fascinating chronicles of a booming St. Louis. Mother Duchesne might well be called a patron of flexible, active older people. She arrived in America on the eve of her forty-ninth birthday; when she finally fulfilled her lifelong dream of living among the Indians in Kansas, she was seventy-two and infirm. She lived in a world that was changing dramatically. She could become the patron of feminists. Mother Duchesne pushed the limits of what was allowed to a woman in her times.

She was educated by Vincentian nuns and joined a religious order at the age of 18. She began to aid and educate prisoners, the marginalized, and the poor during the French Revolution – a watershed event in modern European history that began in 1789 and ended in the late 1790s. Her care for these people put her in grave danger. In 1804, she joined the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Gracious God, you filled the heart of St. Rose France. For 14 years, Rose prepared for a mission.

  • In the Footsteps of Saint Philippine Duchesne: a Self-Guided Tour
    Saint Philippine Bicentennial 1818-2018 In the footsteps of Saint Philippine Duchesne: A self-guided tour Mother Rose Philippine Duchesne was a pioneer Missouri educator, the first to open a free school west of the Mississippi, the first to open an academic school for girls in the St. Louis, Missouri, area, and the first Catholic sister (along with her four companions) to serve in the St. Louis region. She brought the French-based Society of the Sacred Heart to America. The congregation of sisters was just 18 years old, and she led its daring, first foreign mission. It was energized by her lifelong passion to serve Native Americans. Two hundred years after her arrival in the region, many share the stories of her faith-emboldened tenacity and her passion for girls’ excellent education. Many strive to model her lifelong determination to reflect the love of God always. Canonized on July 3, 1988, she is a patron saint of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. She is known around the world. We hope this guide to seven places where the saint lived and prayed will help you learn more about her often discouraging but remarkable journey of love.

  • Mother Rose Duchesne (Rose Doo-Shane’)
    Mother Rose Duchesne (Rose Doo-shane’) ROSE PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE was born August 29, 1769, in Grenoble, France. She had six sisters and one brother. Rose Duchesne went to the Monastery of Sainte-Marie-den-haut, where she learned about her faith and first became interested in becoming a nun. Her family was not supportive of her becoming a nun, but even so, she became a nun at the convent of the Visitation at just 18 years old. A few years later, during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, her monastery was shut down, so she returned home to spend her time nursing prisoners and helping people. Rose Duchesne met the foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Mother Barat, and was received into that society in 1804. In 1815, after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Rose Duchesne started a Convent of the Sacred Heart in Paris, France, where she also opened a school. What a lot of turmoil and changes in the world this young nun witnessed! A few years later in 1818, she sailed to America, landing in New Orleans. She traveled up the Mississippi River and eventually settled in St. Charles, which was part of the Missouri Territory. There, she and four of her sisters (her siblings, or four other sisters?) established a new Sacred Heart convent, the first house of the Society ever built outside of France. Rose Duchesne is known for devotion to spreading the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In just 10 years in America, she had grown the Society to six houses and several schools.
