Finding Aid for the Carondelet Consolidated Archive, Sisters of St 1 FINDING AID FOR THE CARONDELET CONSOLIDATED ARCHIVE, SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH OF CARONDELET COMPILED NOVEMBER 2020 Consolidated Archives History In 1650, the Sisters of St. Joseph formed in LePuy, France, under the guidance of Jean Pierre Medaille, SJ. The first Sisters of St. Joseph came from Lyon, France, to America in 1836, establishing two convents: one in Carondelet (a village on the outskirts of St. Louis, MO), and Cahokia, IL (which closed in 1855). Eventually, four provinces were formed: St. Louis, St. Paul, Albany, and Los Angeles. Foundations in Hawaii, Japan, and Peru led to the establishment of Vice Provinces in those regions, although Japan became Region I of the Los Angeles Province in 2011 and Hawaii amalgamated with the Los Angeles Province in 2017. In 2018, the congregation and its archivists consolidated the majority of their archival holdings into one physical location at the Motherhouse in St. Louis, MO, which was christened the Carondelet Consolidated Archive. These holdings include materials from the Albany, Los Angeles, and St. Louis Provinces, as well as the Congregational Center and the former Vice Province of Hawaii. While each collection is housed under one roof, they are stored separately and maintain their own original and unique classification systems. The Provinces of Albany and Los Angeles still maintain a handful of records locally that have not been transferred to the consolidated archive. Also, the Province of St. Paul did not transfer their archives, as their holdings contain locally rich information that is better suited to remain physically available in St. Paul, MN. How to Use This Finding Aid Please note that each collection utilizes its own classification system of record group and series numbers. While there will be some overlap of subjects amongst the collections, they are largely unique in that they focus on the Sisters, places, and events specific to each Province/Vice Province. 2 Also, this finding aid might not include materials that are still housed in their originating provinces. This is also a living document and is subject to change as materials are accessioned into these collections. 1. Keyword Searching For best results, please utilize the “find” option in your PDF viewer (in Adobe Acrobat, hit CTRL-F to open the search bar) to search for specific words, such as Names, Places, or Subjects. 2. Browsing Please browse each collection below, and if you locate any materials you wish to learn more about, be sure to note the Province/Vice Province collection name *and* the record group/series number. Contact the archivist for further assistance. Research Requests 314-678-0320 [email protected] On-site research is available by appointment only, Monday through Friday, at the Carondelet Consolidated Archive in St. Louis, MO. Please read our Access Policy and User Agreement for more information. For requests where the researcher is not able to visit the archives in person to conduct their own research, archive staff will make every effort to perform due diligence in researching the topic on their behalf, as time permits, but will spend no more than one hour conducting research on behalf of another person.

  • Alabama Heralds 'Last Slave Ship' Discovery; Ponders Future by Kevin Mcgill, Associated Press on 04.15.19 Word Count 647 Level MAX
    Alabama heralds 'last slave ship' discovery; ponders future By Kevin McGill, Associated Press on 04.15.19 Word Count 647 Level MAX Archaeological survey teams work to locate the remains of the slave ship Clotilda, in the delta waters north of Mobile Bay, Alabama. Photo by: Daniel Fiore/SEARCH, Inc. via AP MOBILE, Alabama — Dives into murky water, painstaking examinations of relics and technical data and rigorous peer review led historians and archaeologists to confirm last week that wreckage found in the Mobile River in 2018 was indeed the Clotilda, the last known ship to bring enslaved Africans to the United States. An event heralding the discovery on May 30 in the Mobile community of Africatown made clear that much work remains. The Alabama Historical Commission and others working on the project must decide how much can be salvaged, whether it can be brought ashore or if it should be left in place and protected. Perhaps more important: How can the interest and publicity engendered by the discovery of the Clotilda be harnessed to foster economic and racial justice in the community? Anderson Flen, a descendant of one of the Clotilda's enslaved, believes the historic find can spark new discussions on those topics. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. "Number one is talking and communicating honestly and transparently," Flen said after a news conference on the effort to confirm the discovery. "The other thing is beginning to make some tangible things happen in this community." Another Clotilda survivor's descendant, Darron Patterson, said Africatown residents "have to come together as a group to make sure we're on one page, of one accord, to make sure this community survives." Thursday's gathering at a community center drew roughly 300 people.

If we choose to do so, we can show others this light and we can do it without saying a word. This can be done by the strict discipline of our lives. This is what Christ was speaking of when he told us: “Let your light so shine before all that people may see your good works and praise your Father in Heaven”.

  • Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church
    IV. PARISH APOSTOLATE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOCAL CHURCH by John E. Rybolt, C.M. Beginning with the original contract establishing the Community, 17 April 1625, Vincentians have worked in parishes. At fIrst they merely assisted diocesan pastors, but with the foundation at Toul in 1635, the fIrst outside of Paris, they assumed local pastorates. Saint Vincent himself had been the pastor of Clichy-Ia-Garenne near Paris (1612-1625), and briefly (1617) of Buenans and Chatillon­ les-Dombes in the diocese of Lyons. Later, as superior general, he accepted eight parish foundations for his community. He did so with some misgiving, however, fearing the abandonment of the country poor. A letter of 1653 presents at least part of his outlook: ., .parishes are not our affair. We have very few, as you know, and those that we have have been given to us against our will, or by our founders or by their lordships the bishops, whom we cannot refuse in order not to be on bad terms with them, and perhaps the one in Brial is the last that we will ever accept, because the further along we go, the more we fmd ourselves embarrassed by such matters. l In the same spirit, the early assemblies of the Community insisted that parishes formed an exception to its usual works. The assembly of 1724 states what other Vincentian documents often said: Parishes should not ordinarily be accepted, but they may be accepted on the rare occasions when the superior general .. , [and] his consul­ tors judge it expedient in the Lord.2 229 Beginnings to 1830 The founding document of the Community's mission in the United States signed by Bishop Louis Dubourg, Fathers Domenico Sicardi and Felix De Andreis, spells out their attitude toward parishes in the new world, an attitude differing in some respects from that of the 1724 assembly.

Polistena: The Image of Mary of the Miraculous Medal: A Valiant Woman Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 11, no. 2 (Summer 2012) The Image of Mary of the Miraculous Medal: A Valiant Woman by Joyce C. Polistena “Gentlemen, whether you like it or not, the feeling for religion has in the last six years regained a power which no one could have foreseen.”[1] A member of France’s Chamber of Deputies made this surprising declaration in 1837, noting the dramatic religious revival that had taken place in France in recent years. One particular religious event, a Mariophanic occurrence, may have contributed to this phenomenon. It also led to a new iconography for the Virgin Mary (fig. 1). This is the subject of my article, in which I attempt to show how a new, potent image of the Virgin became popular because it emerged at a propitious moment, politically, and because new technologies helped to widely propagate it.

  • Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes ‒ Marian High School, February 11
    Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes – Marian High School, February 11, 2019 Most Reverend Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades “It was 161 years ago today, on February 11, 1858, that the Blessed Virgin Mary first appeared to the 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous at the grotto of Massabielle near the village of Lourdes in France. It was the first of 18 apparitions. At this first apparition, Bernadette first saw a light, then she saw a young lady who she said was “beautiful, more beautiful than any other.” She did not know it was the Virgin Mary. Bernadette said that the lady smiled at her and spoke to her with much tenderness and love. She described the woman to others as ‘the beautiful lady.’ She was beautiful in every way, not just physically. It is hardly surprising that Mary should be beautiful, given that – during the last apparition on March 25th, 1858, she revealed her name to Bernadette. She said: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Is this not the greatest beauty of Mary of Nazareth, the Mother of Jesus? She was without sin from the first moment of her existence. She was preserved by God from every stain of original sin. We call her Mary most holy. Her holiness was perfect. That’s why she’s the greatest of all the saints, the Queen of All Saints. That’s the patron title I gave to Bishop Dwenger High School some years ago, when I gave to your high school Our Lady of Lourdes as patroness. The young Bernadette saw the beauty of Mary.
