There are six or seven regular services a year, Christ is our Light ! when all the churches of Hungerford worship together.

As a relative newcomer to the parish, only seven years, I am still unaware of precisely who does what and I know very few of the names. This is probably more of a reflection on me and my terrible memory for names. However, I would like to express my deep appreciation of all that goes on to keep the Church open and running smoothly.

  • The Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System
    THE FRANCISCAN MISSIONARIES OF OUR LADY HEALTH SYSTEM A BRIEF HISTORY TABLE OF CONTENTS Prologue Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Brief History The Sisters Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System The Beginning Years St. Francis Our Lady of the Lake Our Lady of Lourdes The Growth Years St. Francis Our Lady of the Lake Our Lady of Lourdes The Development of a Corporate Structure Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady The Haiti Project Appendix The Congregation The Sisters The Administrators 2 FOREWORD Catholic communities of Sisters devoted to caring for the sick were instrumental in developing the hospital system in America. The achievements are many and the sacrifices they made were often unbelievable. Perhaps, one of the most famous was the ministry of Mother Marianne of Molakai, a member of the Sisters of St. Francis. She gave herself in service to the lepers of Hawaii, serving for 29 years until her death. Through the efforts of communities of Catholic Sisters, one or more hospitals were developed in every major city of the U.S. The first group to arrive was the French Ursulines who came to New Orleans in 1727. They opened the first Catholic hospital in New Orleans in 1728. Countless communities of Catholic Sisters followed them. Few Sisters are famous. Most Sisters lived and died obscurely, secure in their belief in Our Lord Jesus Christ, giving themselves freely and willingly to the care of the sick. The Franciscan Sisters of Calais, the subject of this publication, came to the U.S. in 1911. The publication is a brief history of their ministry in Louisiana.

Deep in our soul are profound and pleasant memories of the pilgrimage to Lourdes which We had the privilege of making when We went to preside, in the name of Our Predecessor, Pius XI, over the Eucharistic and Marian celebrations marking the close of the Jubilee of the Redemption. 2. We are particularly pleased, therefore, to learn that, on the initiative of the Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, this Marian city is preparing an appropriate celebration for the centenary of the apparitions of the Immaculate Virgin at the grotto of Massabielle, and that an international committee has been set up for this purpose under the presidency of His Eminence Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals. 3. We wish to join with you, Beloved Sons and Venerable Brothers, in thanking God for the great favor granted your country, and for the many graces He has bestowed on multitudes of pilgrims during the past century. 4. We wish to invite all Our children to renew in this jubilee year their confident and generous devotion to her who, in the words of Saint Pius X, deigned to establish at Lourdes "the seat of her immense kindness."[1] 5. Every Christian land is a Marian land; there is not a nation redeemed in the blood of Christ which does not glory in proclaiming Mary its Mother and Patroness.
