I am indebted to Dr. Edward Keuchel who introduced me to the Sisters of St. Joseph by way of his work on Sister Mary Ann. He generously gave me his entire research file on her. With Ed’s retirement, Dr. Elna Green became my major professor, and introduced me to women’s history, a new field since I began my academic career back in the 1960s. Dr. Maxine Jones’ classes on black history also opened up to me whole new perspectives on American history. While writing a seminar paper on the 1888 yellow fever epidemic in Jacksonville for Dr. Joe Richardson’s seminar on social history, I rediscovered the Sisters of St. Joseph, first introduced to me by Ed Keuchel. The Sisters nursed yellow fever patients. Deciding the Sisters were much more intriguing, I began over six years of satisfying research. Central to this study has been the support I received from Sister Thomas Joseph McGoldrick, SSJ, archivist for the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Augustine. She very graciously opened the archives to me, introducing me to the remarkable letters the Sisters wrote back to their Motherhouse in Le Puy, France, in the early years of their ministry in Florida. The letters are a treasure, and I am pleased that Sister Thomas Joseph has recently published Beyond the Call, which includes many of the letters, making them available to the public. I am pleased, too, to have been able to contribute to the gathering of copies of letters that were missing from the collection. In March 2004, with support from the Office of Graduate Studies’ Dissertation Research Grant Committee, I went to the Sisters of St. Joseph’s archives at the Motherhouse in Le Puy, France, adding to my research files and completing the collection at the Sisters’ archives in St. Augustine. Critical to the research in France was Sister Jacqueline Pirot, a Sister of St. Joseph from Aurillac, France, who gave nearly two weeks of her time to assist me with my research at the Motherhouse. Her brother Jean-Pierre even met me at the airport in Paris and saw that I got on the correct train to Le Puy. I am also grateful for a J. Leitch Wright, Jr. Dissertation Travel Award and a Morris Endowment Summer Research Award that funded trips to Savannah and St. Augustine. Thanks also go to Dr. Richardson who provided copies of letters of the American Missionary Association teachers and ministers who came to Florida. Their letters, iii paired with those of the Sisters of St. Joseph, provide a vehicle to compare the two groups’ work at a very personal level. Early on in my research, I contacted Dr. Elizabeth Fox-Genovese at Emory University. She told me of the History of Women Religious Conference, a triennial gathering for the presentation of papers on the history of women in religious orders. I am grateful to the Conference for allowing me to present two papers, at the 2004 and 2007 meetings. Special encouragement came from Diane Batts Morrow, Carol Coburn, and Sisters Pat Byrne and Karen Kennelly. Besides Sister Thomas Joseph, several other librarians, archivists, and historians provided valuable assistance: Gillian Brown, archivist for the Diocese of Savannah; Flo Turcotte, who went beyond the call of duty, and Bruce Chappell at the P.K. Yonge Special Collections at the George Smathers Library at the University of Florida, Gainesville; Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, who graciously provided copies of letters between Mother Katharine Drexel and Bishop John Moore; Charles Tingley, librarian at the St. Augustine Historical Society; Susan Parker, former colleague at the Florida Department of State and now Executive Director of the St. Augustine Historical Society; David Nolan, historian in St. Augustine; and the wonderful staff at the State Library of Florida who obtained all those interlibrary loan requests for me. All of this work was completed while working full time for the Division of Historical Resources, Bureau of Historic Preservation. I am grateful to Frederick Gaske, the Director of the Division and my “boss,” and for my colleagues at the Bureau for being so supportive of these efforts. Thanks to Brian Yates, who created the map for Figure 8, Carl Shiver for computer help, and Joshua Youngblood who created the necessary pdfs. Needless to say, my thanks and love abound to my longsuffering husband, Stan, who prayed me through when it just seemed too tough to keep going, and to the Lord, who answered those prayers so faithfully. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures vi Abstract vii INTRODUCTION 1 1.

Curley 184 vi ABSTRACT “Ministries in Black and White: the Catholic Sisters of St. Augustine, 1859-1920” discusses the work of two orders of women religious, the Sisters of Mercy, who taught young white women in a convent school from 1859-1870; and the Sisters of St. Joseph, who came from France in 1866 to teach newly freed blacks after the Civil War, the only white Catholic order to do so. They remain an active order in Florida, with a Motherhouse still in St. Augustine. A significant part of the dissertation is a comparison of the Sisters of St. Joseph’s work against that of their major rivals, missionaries from the American Missionary Association. Using letters written by the Sisters back to their Motherhouse in Le Puy, France, the dissertation provides a rare view of the lives of these Catholic Sisters in St. Augustine and other parts of Florida, from the mid-nineteenth century through the era of anti-Catholicism in the early twentieth-century South. It carries the story through the pioneer years of the Sisters of St. Joseph’s work in Florida. In the telling of their story, the dissertation addresses the idea of domesticity, the proper role of women, and how it was reinforced in Catholic terms by women who seemingly defied the ideal. vii INTRODUCTION In September 1866, shortly after the end of the Civil War, at the behest of the Catholic Bishop over Florida, Augustin Verot, eight Catholic Sisters of St. Joseph from Le Puy, France, went to St. Augustine to teach the newly freed slaves in Florida. Arriving in the “Ancient City” of St. Augustine, they were assisted by Sisters of Mercy whom Verot had asked to come from the North shortly before the Civil War to teach white Catholic girls. The French Sisters’ mission was to capture the former slaves’ souls, to save them from the “heretical” teachings of Protestant missionaries who were already at work in Florida, and to educate blacks to be able to live in a free society as good Catholics. This dissertation tells the story of the efforts of both of these women religious' congregations in Florida and provides some analyses of their work through the lenses of the history of blacks, women, Florida, and Catholicism in the South, from the mid- nineteenth century to about 1920. Although since the 1980s there has been a growing interest in evaluating the impact of the Catholic Church on American history, relatively little has been written on the Catholic Church in the South, especially after the Civil War, and women's history has been dominated by analyses of Protestant women from the northeast.1 This northeastern view emphasizes the development of networks and bonds between women in urban settings through voluntary associations, mother's clubs, and charitable works.

  • The Middle Ages: the Approach to the Truce of God
    THE MIDDLE AGES: THE APPROACH TO THE TRUCE OF GOD. more than one thousand years from Constantine’s THEreign until the close of the Hundred Years’ War re- cords the decline of the nationalism of Rome, and the rise of Christian Civilization throughout Western Europe, and finally the return to nationalism. This long period of history cannot be represented as a period of peace but as one seek- ing peace, seeking limitation as to just cause in war and, with it, limitation consistent with the just peace. The races of Western Europe were as diverse as they are today. They were as vigorous. Their primitive instincts for war had by no means disappeared. Their militant claim for justice and right was never silent. It was persistent. Feudal society sought to create order but often failed within itself. Still the story is one of creative and courageous continuity. When the invaders from beyond the Alps had been held in check, and the Saracens’ thrust driven back to southern Spain and to Africa, there prevailed probably the longest period of continued progress, invention, and development our history reveals. From the beginning of the ninth century well on to the close of the fourteenth century, Christian civilization with its architecture and its art came into completeness, slowly, steadily, and surely. Increasing because of like understand- ing of values and undertakings common to all the people, it grew up in many regions separate and remote from each 291 292 Western Tradition: Rome to Britain other. Each region had its local nature, but an all-pervading clarity of purpose gave to each a similar directness.

  • St. Augustine Statistics
    The Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine On Sept. 8, 1565, a small band of Spaniards celebrated Mass on the shores of North Florida in preparation for starting a settlement there. They named their new home St. Augustine in honor of the saint on whose feast day they sighted land. Thus were the seeds of Christianity sown in North America. St. Augustine is the site of the first permanent parish church, now the Cathedral-Basilica. The famed Santa Fe Trail origi- nated here. It was from here that Franciscan missionaries began the trek North and West to proclaim the Good News. It was here that the first schools and hospitals were established. It was not until March 11, 1870 that Florida, east of the Apalachicola River, was designated as the Diocese of St. Augustine. The growth of the church in Florida from this Mother Diocese to six additional dioceses and more than 2.1 million Catholics is a significant part of the story of the Catholic Church in the United States. Today, the Diocese of St. Augustine encompasses 17 counties spanning the northeast section of Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. It covers 11,032 square miles and serves about 171,000 registered Catholics.

  • The Catholic Press in France on the Eve of the Dreyfus Affair, 1895-1897
    The Catholic Press in France on the Eve of the Dreyfus Affair, 1895-1897 Master’s Thesis Presented to the Comparative History Department Brandeis University Alice Kelikian, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts By Steven Pieragastini May, 2009 i Copyright by Steven Pieragastini 2009 ii Abstract The Catholic Press in France on the Eve of the Dreyfus Affair, 1895-1897 A thesis presented to the Comparative History Department Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Steven Pieragastini The Assumptionist Order, founded in 1845-46 by Emmanuel d’Alzon, and its publishing house La Maison de la Bonne Presse, effectively spread an idiosyncratic gospel of traditionalism in the first decades of the French Third Republic. This was accomplished primarily through its national daily newspaper La Croix, which became a leading voice in the anti-Dreyfusard campaign during the Dreyfus Affair. This investigation raises questions about the nature of French Catholicism as a whole at the end of the nineteenth century and its relationship to antisemitism. A number of excellent studies have looked at the Catholic press’s role at the height of the Affair. Few have looked closely at the “lull” period between Dreyfus’s public degradation and the trials of Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy and Émile Zola. The central focus of my research has been on the nature of the Catholic press during these years of relative silence. This paper will show that while events and predispositions fed off of each other, the ground had already been prepared at La Bonne Presse for a rancorous assertion of Catholic nationalism and antisemitism before 1898.
