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.

A Map of the Louisiana Territory, 1814 Introduction Questions for Discussion
1 A map of the Louisiana Territory, 1814 Introduction The 1803 Louisiana Purchase from France during Thomas Jefferson’s first term as president more than doubled the size of the United States. Jefferson’s next step was to learn all about this new territory of the United States. He chose Meriwether Lewis, a former army captain and his own private secretary, to lead the expedition. Lewis chose another army captain, William Clark, to join him and put together the team. Clark’s exceptional mapmaking skills proved invaluable, and he kept detailed records throughout the journey. They left St. Louis, Missouri, in May 1804 and reached the Pacific Ocean near what would become Columbia, Oregon, in November 1805. Their primary task was to survey the new lands west of the Mississippi River and to locate a water route to the Pacific. They kept meticulous journals about plant and animal life, rocks and minerals, weather conditions, and a wide variety of other details about this new territory. Another important goal was to initiate good relationships with the American Indians. During the winter, a French Canadian trader, Toussaint Charbonneau, and his wife, Sacagawea, a Shoshone Indian, joined the expedition. Sacagawea was instrumental in introducing Lewis and Clark to Native Americans. She acted as a translator and presented the expedition as peaceful. The expedition returned to Missouri in September 1806 with valuable maps. After Lewis’s death in 1809, Clark took responsibility for organizing and releasing the expedition journals to eager scientists and curious Americans. Questions for Discussion Read the document introduction and closely examine the enlarged document image in order to answer these questions.

Thomas Jefferson's Letter to Robert Livingston (Early 1802)
OFFICIAL BUSINESS OF THE UNITED STATES BRIEFING: Agent, the United States government is currently seeking to purchase land from Canada in order to add more territory for future states. In order to fully understand what the United States government can expect from this massive land deal, we have to understand how the only other deal of this magnitude “went down.” We desperately need your help in solving these key questions regarding the “Louisiana Territory.” Here is what we know about the Louisiana Territory: In 1803, President Thomas Je fferson purchased a massive plot of land (may have done so illegally) that more than doubled the size of the United States. This land is referred to as the Louisiana Territory. Just like today, the United States was very enthusiastic about acquiring new territories; after all, this allows for more states to be admied to the Union and will help support our growing population. However, the last thing a prosperous country like us needs is to be indebted to a country forever, or to have been “duped” into buying a useless piece of land. A picture of the land in question is included below. We need your help! Use the following documents to answer the questions below about the Louisiana Territory. You should submit documentation of each question on thee appropriate “Louisiana Territory Briefing Submission” form. Agent, there is one more thing I must mention. I hope you understand the seriousness of this investigation. Because of this, your answers to the below questions cannot be short nor simple. They are required to be deep, complex, and must show a strong use of the documents in this case file.

The Religious of the Sacred Heart in Canada 1842-19801
CCHA Study Sessions, 48(1981), 43-60 The religious of the Sacred Heart in Canada 1842-19801 by Sister Marthe BAUDOIN, r.s.c.j. The Society of the Sacred Heart was founded by Madeleine-Sophie Barat in Amiens, France, in 1800. This was a distressing period for the Church both in France and in other countries. But the nineteenth century was to witness an undeniable Christian revival: old religious orders were revitalized, many new ones were founded and foreign missions began to thrive once more thanks, in part, to the initiative and zeal of Gregory XVI, who was Prefect of Propaganda before he became Pope in 1831. Madeleine-Sophie Barat was at heart a contemplative and a lover of the poor. But she felt the urge of meeting a great need of the Church in her time: the rechristianization of families by the education of youth. Hence she opened both boarding schools and “ poor schools,” the latter being financed by the formers’ proceeds. Her aim was to let the young live in contact with the God of Love, helped by religious educators that were deeply contemplative themselves. Hence the latters’' spiritual training was long and thorough. After a three to six months postulantship, they began a two years’ novatiate at the end of which they made their first promises. T hen they shared i n t h e Order’s apostolic works for five years. Finally, a second novitiate of six months culminated in the taking of their perpetual v o ws. Because Mother Barat felt that strict papal enclosure might hinder apostolic works, the religious of the Sacred Heart lived under a form of enclosure intended for contemplative Institutes with simple vows.

The Louisiana Purchase
ooooooooooooo History ooooooooooooo The Louisiana Purchase When Thomas Jefferson became president of the United States, the nation’s western border ended at the Mississippi River. President Jefferson wanted to expand the nation’s size. To do that, he needed land…and a lot of it! Early Explorers from Europe Explorers from France were among the first Europeans to reach the land west of the Mississippi River. These explorers claimed the land for France in 1682. They named the area “Louisiana” after their king, Louis XIV. The French soon set up trading posts in order to trade with the Native Americans. However, because of a war, France gave the land to Spain in 1762. Many cities were built under Spanish control. Then, in 1800, Spain agreed to give the territory back to France. A Man with a Vision President Jefferson began serving as president in 1801. At that time, American farmers sent their crops down the Mississippi River. Roads were not very good and it was easier to float your goods down a river than travel by wagon on land. Farmers then sold their © 2014 Created by Sally Camden ~ The Reflective Educator ~ www.thereflectiveeducator.com crops in the port city of New Orleans. The city, however, belonged to France…not the United States. What if France refused to let American farmers sell their crops? President Jefferson was also a man with a vision. He wanted to see the country’s borders expand farther west. He hoped that one day America would stretch from one ocean to another. The Deal of the Century President Jefferson asked France if America could buy the city of New Orleans.

To Examine the Causes and Effects of the Conflict That Erupted Over the Proposed Statehood of Missouri
Objective: To examine the causes and effects of the conflict that erupted over the proposed statehood of Missouri. Do Now: Read the following quote by Abraham Lincoln. “‘A house divided against itself cannot stand.’ I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved – I do not expect the house to fall – but I do expect it will cease too be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it…or its (supporters) will push it forward till it shall become…lawful in all the states, old as well as new, North as well as South.” What point is Lincoln making about the future faced by the United States? Missouri Compromise of 1820 • A. Missouri applies for statehood as a slave state • B. Threatens the balance in congress—11 free states and 11 slave states already exist • C. Henry clay proposes: – i. Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state – ii. Louisiana Territory split: above the 36 30’ north latitude slavery is illegal; below slavery is legal—except Missouri The Missouri Question - Northerners Balance of Free and Slave States (1821) were against adding Missouri to the union as a Maine (1820) Missouri (1821) slave state because it would disrupt the balance Illinois (1818) Alabama (1819) of power in Congress Indiana (1816) Mississippi (1817) between slave and free states. Ohio (1803) Louisiana (1812) Missouri Vermont (1791) Tennessee (1796) Compromise Rhode Island Kentucky (1792) • Missouri was New York Virginia admitted to the New Hampshire North Carolina union as a slave state, and Maine was Massachusetts South Carolina admitted as a free Connecticut Maryland state.

Heart Magazine Winter 2010
Winter 2010 A Journal of the Society of the Sacred Heart, U.S. Province …to Heart To have “the heart of an educator” is our call as RSCJ living in our struggling world. Dear An educator draws forth what is within the other by seeing, and hoping in, the goodness at the heart of who that person is. An educator facilitates people’s growth, often beyond Friends, their wildest imaginings, because the educator believes in them and creates room for them to grow. The gifts and potential reside within the other, so the task of the educator is not to “do” anything. But the educator must first come to know the other – to observe, to listen to, to interact with, to care about – because otherwise, the other could say “You don’t know me. How can you believe in me?” Being deeply believed in by someone who knows us gives any of us the energy, courage, incentive, and will to grow and to learn and to put forth the effort that such growing and learning require. The heart of the educator discerns and draws out what is in the heart of the other with all of its potential, and the result is St. Madeleine Sophie’s vision of “the education of the whole person.” As you will read in this issue of Heart , ministering with “the heart of an educator” takes place in many different settings: in actual classrooms, in countries where needs are enormous, and in places where healing is called for. All who are part of the Society’s mission follow in the footsteps of St.
