  • The Cult of Saints in Religious Orders: the Example of the Congregation of the Felician Sisters
    Vol. 13 FOLIA HISTORICA CRACOVIENSIA 2007 L ucyna R o tter THE CULT OF SAINTS IN RELIGIOUS ORDERS: THE EXAMPLE OF THE CONGREGATION OF THE FELICIAN SISTERS In every order or monastic congregation a group of ‘favourite’ saints can be selected. The reasons differ. Most often the foremost place goes to the congrega­ tion’s founder or founders. It should be emphasized that in a number of orders, monastic congregations, monasteries, or abbeys the cult is given to benefactors and founders not formally canonized by the Church - for example in the abbeys of the Benedictine Sisters in Staniatki-Klemens, Reclawa and Wizenna1. The other reason for the particular veneration of a saint was the fact of his composing a rule a given congregation followed. Often founder and ‘rule provider’ are one and the same person, but there are also cases when the founder of the order or congregation uses a rule composed by someone else and which is widely known. For example: Saint Norbert von Genepp introduced the Rule of Saint Augustine to the nuns of the Norbertine Order that he founded2. The other group of saints venerated with a particular cult in congregations are those recognised as patrons or protectors of their congregations and saints and be­ atified coming from the ranks of their order. Deliberately, I avoid saints whose cult developed in a specific monastic church because of the location of a celebrated fig­ ure, picture, or relic not connected in any other way with the congregation. For such a cult does not always cover the whole monastic order but is characteristic only for a specific monastery or a province at the most.

By consecrating their lives to God in a society that deemed all black people immoral, black Catholic sisters provided a powerful refutation to the racist stereotypes used by white supremacists and paternalists to exclude African Americans from the ranks of religious life and full citizenship rights. By dedicating their labors to the educational and social uplift of the largely neglected black community, black sisters challenged the Church and the nation to live up to the full promises of democracy and Catholicism. Yet, their lives and labors remain largely invisible in the annals of American and religious history. This is especially true of their efforts in the twentieth century, when black sisters pried opened the doors of Catholic higher education, desegregated several historically white congregations, and helped to launch the greatest black Catholic revolt in American history. This dissertation unearths the hidden history of black Catholic sisters in the fight for racial and educational justice in the twentieth century.
