  • Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Jamila Jamison Sinlao Committee in charge: Professor Denise Bielby, Chair Professor Jon Cruz Professor Simonetta Falasca-Zamponi Professor John Mohr December 2018 The dissertation of Jamila Jamison Sinlao is approved. Jon Cruz Simonetta Falsca-Zamponi John Mohr Denise Bielby, Committee Chair December 2018 Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 Copyright © 2018 by Jamila Jamison Sinlao iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In so many ways, this dissertation is a labor of love, shaped by the formative years that I spent as a student at Mercy High School, Burlingame. There, the “Mercy spirit”—one of hospitality and generosity, resilience and faith—was illustrated by the many stories we heard about Catherine McAuley and Mary Baptist Russell. The questions that guide this project grew out of my Mercy experience, and so I would like to thank the many teachers, both lay and religious, who nurtured my interest in this fascinating slice of history. This project would not have been possible without the archivists who not only granted me the privilege to access their collections, but who inspired me with their passion, dedication, and deep historical knowledge. I am indebted to Chris Doan, former archivist for the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Sister Marilyn Gouailhardou, RSM, regional community archivist for the Sisters of Mercy Burlingame; Sister Margaret Ann Gainey, DC, archivist for the Daughters of Charity, Seton Provincialate; Kathy O’Connor, archivist for the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, California Province; and Sister Michaela O’Connor, SHF, archivist for the Sisters of the Holy Family.

Overview This project has been gestating since Cecilia Maria O’Conway (1788-1865) arrived in Baltimore to join Elizabeth Bayley Seton, 7 December 1808, and the fact was recorded for posterity. Concerted efforts have been underway since 1996 to identify, review, and transcribe manuscript personnel records, but staff time and funding were not available to digitalize, integrate, and analyze the information. In 2000 the archival team of the Daughters of Charity Archives located at St. Joseph’s Provincial House, Emmitsburg, Maryland, USA, concluded that there were at least four types of primary sources for data related to the first one hundred years of the sisterhood.

  • Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent De Paul of Innsbruck Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent De Paul of Graz
    127 4.1 Institutes that honor Vincent de Paul as one of their patrons. AUSTRIA 4.1-AUS.839.3.1F Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul of Innsbruck Founded 1839 at Innsbruck, Austria, as a development from the Sisters of Charity of Strasbourg (see 1.2-FRA.734.3F) to educate the young and care for the sick and elderly in their homes. The first candidates for this institute were formed at Munich. In 1839 it sought pontifical approval of its rule, but Rome reverted to the rule of the institute at Vienna (see 1.2-AUS.832.1.11) by the same name and ap­ pointed Reverend John Dulie as their ecclesiastical superior. This 14 institute is a member of the Vincentian Federation. ' (Generalate: Rennweg 40; 6020 Innsbruck, Austria.) 4.1-AUS.841.1.2 Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul of Graz Developed 1841 at Graz, Austria, from the Sisters of Charity of Strasbourg via the diocesan foundation at Munich (1832) (see 1.2-FRA.734.3.11F). The diocesan institute (twenty-four sisters in four foundations) led bytheir superiorgeneral, Sister Leopoldine deBrandis, (1815-1900), united with the Daughters of Charity, Paris, in 1850 (see 1.1-FRA.633.22). When de Brandis died in 1900 the province had 2700 sisters and 210 houses. In 1882 this institute assisted the Sisters of Charity of Salzburg in uniting with Paris (see 4.1-AUS.844.3.1.2). Brandis had previously founded a lay Association of Visiting Nurses (see L-2.2-AUS.878.11) and the Nursing Sisters of Mary of the Miracu­ lous Medal (see 2.2-AUS.880.11.2 and 2.2-SLO.878.1.11).149 lol6AP, 1603; "Les Soeurs de la charlte de Strasburg," Ll Tradition Vivante, 33; Fischer to McNeil, 15 July 1993; DIP, s.v.

  • Koch Foundation 2016 Annual Report
    1 Mission STATEMENT Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the finances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization efforts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but financially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference. Carl & Paula Koch 2 Letter from the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR As a child attending Catholic Schools I was always taught that angels were all around us as our unseen protectors. I still remember my third grade teacher Sister Peter Favor telling my classmate that we were going to wear out our guardian angels who were working overtime to keep us out of trouble. In religious education we often read stories of angels sent to do God’s will such as the angel sent to keep Abraham from sacrificing Isaac to, the Archangel Gabriel announcing the birth of John the Baptist and the birth of Jesus. Angels have two purposes, to worship God and through all eternity and to assist us during our life so that when we die we join them in heaven to praise God. We are told that there are nine choirs of angels: the thrones are angels of pure humility, peace and submission. They reside in the area of the cosmos where material form begins to take shape.

Carl and Paula Koch 2 Letter From The Executive Director I have been blessed in my life to have had several family members who chose to dedicate their lives in service to God, so there has never been a time when I did not visit my relatives and see a cousin dressed all in black with a worn yet beloved Rosary tucked carefully into her simple belt. I can remember as a young child Sister teaching me to say the Rosary and telling me that whenever I attended Mass I was to pray the Rosary. That memory has stayed with me into adulthood and, when I became a mother, the Rosary took on a special and personal meaning. I found I was praying the Rosary more often and usually for something concerning my son and family. I began to realize that I needed the solace I could only fi nd by praying the Rosary. Like many parents, in addition to my work at the Foundation I am also my son’s chauff eur, carting him to and from various sports events.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT As we gather for this National Assembly in 2019, we recall the gifts and challenges that have been ours during this past twelve months. At our Assembly in 2018 we launched the new National CRA structure. The CRA Council was entrusted to carry forward the vision of this reality across Australia. This was an exciting opportunity in which to be involved. It required both delighting in the birthing of the new and at the same time engaging with the experience of transition. Of significance has been the establishment of the CRA committees, the State networking bodies and the work of the CRA council as well as the development of the secretariat. There is much to celebrate and appreciate in what has been achieved. During these days of the Assembly, the Council will shall share with you the next phase of the implementation of this National CRA structure. Embracing the Vision of the National CRA Structure At the heart of this vision has been our on-going commitment to participation in the mission of God.
