  • The Sisters of St. Joseph. Beginnings in London Diocese 1868-1878 by Sister Julia MOORE, Scj., M.A., PH.D
    CCHA, Study Sessions, 45(1978), 37-55 The Sisters of St. Joseph. Beginnings in London Diocese 1868-1878 by Sister Julia MOORE, scj., M.A., PH.D. The first ten years of the history of the Sisters of S t. Joseph of London, 1868-1878 is the subject of this paper. However, since the London Community traces its roots to the first foundation of the Sisters of St. Joseph made at Lepuy, France in 1650, I shall refer briefly to our origins. T he first Sisters were brought together by a French Jesuit, Jean-Pierre Médaille. This holy man, reflecting upon his country’s sufferings resulting from the aftermath of the W ars of Religion, longed to heal its wounded people. That is the reason why the Congregation he founded had as basic concept UNITY; this is also interpreted as Reconciliation or Healing. The first members visited and cared for the sick, ministered to the poor, the aged, the imprisoned and instructed young girls in spiritual matters. In the early years, the Congregation grew steadily in numbers of Sisters and established Convents keeping pace with the growth. The French Revolution brought its sufferings, and the persecution of the Terrorists caused the dispersement of the members of the Community. Before the Reign of Terror was over, five Sisters of St. Joseph had been guillotined and another five were awaiting the same fate in the prison of St. Didier-Haute Loire. With the fall of Robespierre, the imprisoned Sisters were freed and one of them, Mother S t. John Fontbonne, reorganized the Community members, assembling them at Lyons in 1807.

Jerry Lepine, Dean of Bradford, will be marking this year’s ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ by visiting and praying at the three Cathedrals in the Diocese of Leeds as part of Bradford Cathedral’s Centenary celebrations.

Dean Jerry is also inviting people from the Diocese of Leeds to come and join him during this pilgrimage of prayer. The period of ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. Dean Jerry says: "As part of Bradford Cathedral's Centenary I am looking forward to praying in each of the three Cathedrals in this Diocese during Thy Kingdom Come. The Archbishops have invited us to make this period of time a focus for prayer, particularly praying that people will come to faith and I look 1 HOSPITALITY. FAITHFULNESS. WHOLENESS.
