    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.

  • They Came to Serve
    A Chronicle of Women Religious in the Diocese of Dallas 1874-2014 THEY CAME TO SERVE BY SISTER MARY BRIAN BOLE, SSND A 125th Anniversary Publication of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas Archives Introduction Too few people are aware of the courageous sisters who came to serve the Church in Texas in collaboration with the diocesan priests and religious prieests and brothers. Many endured long religious voyages to reach the vineyard to which they had been called. Many died to the dread epidemics of cholera and yellow fever that repeatedly swept over the republic and later the state. Others died protecting the orphans at St. Mary’s Orphanage in Galveston in 1900. Long before our diocese was established in 1890 Ursuline Nuns, Daughters of Charity, Holy Cross Sisters and Sisters of St. Mary Namur had established schools, hospitals and academies in what would become the Dallas diocese. They were but the vanguard of the thousands of women religious from 63 communities who came to serve and are still serving God in this corner of his vineyard. Sister Mary Brian Bole, SSND, gives a glimpse of the labors of these brave consecrated women in this chronicle. Theirs is story that needed to be told and she has done it well. January 1, 2016 Most Rev. Kevin J. Farrell Bishop of Dallas The Author School Sister of Notre Dame Mary Brian Bole, author of They Came to Serve, has held administrative and teaching positions at a number of educational institutions in Texas and Japan, including the University of Dallas, Kyoto Notre Dame University, Kyoto, Japan, Bishop Dunne School, Nolan Catholic High School, Fort Worth, the Highlands School, Irving and Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Dallas.

Introduction for Teachers Women & Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America is an American history story and a womenʼs history story. This teachers guide and the traveling exhibit it is based on present the innovative women whose passion for justice helped shape our nationʼs social and cultural landscape. Since first arriving in America nearly 300 years ago, sisters established schools, colleges, hospitals, orphanages, homeless shelters, and many other enduring social institutions that addressed critical social needs. As nurses, teachers, and social workers, sisters entered professional ranks decades earlier than most other women. Their work provided blueprints for the nationʼs educational and healthcare systems that continue to serve millions of Americans from all walks of life. Religious commitment is integral to the story of Catholic sisters, and their spiritual life calls them to respond to those who are in need. Women & Spirit focuses on sistersʼ achievements in working with communities they have served. The exhibit brings to light hundreds of unsung heroes and documents a vital and significant perspective on American history.

Introduction The French Sulpicians in Baltimore wrote the earliest chapters in the story of the American Sisters of Charity punctuated with the pain of human conflict and heroic struggles. In God's Providence, the Holy Spirit used events and personalities to bring about new life in the American Church Like a team rowing energetically despite the strain, the person at the helm controlled the community's destiny. This paper will consider a developmental perspective of the Sulpician mission as pivotal in the period 1789 to 1850, focusing on the establishment of the Sisters of Charity and key events leading to the union with France of the Emmitsburg community. I will then discuss some mission deter- minants and their implications for contemporary ministry.

Standing at the window of the Cathedral residence shortly before his death, and noticing the sisters passing by, Arch- bishop John Baptist Purcell commented to a friend, "Ah, there go the dear Sisters of Charity, the first who gave me help in all my undertakings, the zealous pioneer religious of this city, and the first female religious of Ohio,—who were never found wanting, and who always bore the brunt of the battle.' When four Sisters of Charity arrived in Cincinnati, Ohio, in Octo- ber 1829 to open an orphanage and school, they were among the trailblazers in establishing the Roman Catholic Church on a sound footing in a diocese which encompassed almost the entire Northwest Territory.
