Sisters Of St Joseph Impact On Society

such a close group from the start. Being formed for much of the same reason and having such a similar history to that of the Disciples I will only touch on a few important parts of their history.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton roll in the Catholic Church was a sister. She became a sister after her husband died. When she was a sister she created Sisters of Charity. Sisters of Charity is for girls to help serve the poor. She created the Sisters of Charity in 1858 in Maryland. She also created an all girls Catholic school. She created the first American Catholic school, St. Joseph Academy. ¨Afterward a group of buildings, embracing a residence for the Sisters, a novitiate, a boarding-school for young girls, a school for poor children, and an orphan asylum, was erected (http://www.elizabethannseton.org ).¨ She created many things that helped people. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton did not have any miracles. Although she did many great things, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was the patron saint of dead children and parents, people who work on the ocean, and widows. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was crucial in the Catholic Church because of her decision to go into the church and what she contributed and how she helped the poor and how she relates to life

Her orphanage was blessed on July 28, 1888 (Wallace). She trained with her religious order, called the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, for three and a half years before opening her first school in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1892. By 1942 she had a system of African American Catholic schools in thirteen states, plus forty mission centers and twenty-three rural schools (Smith).

Anne also spent a good deal of time with her mother who was a midwife. She began to accompany her at a young age to births of women in their village. As a young woman she became a midwife. She continued her midwifery in the New World and was highly regarded by the women in every community in which she lived. They looked up to her and sought her advice in matters that were spiritual in nature. Without the training by her mother in midwifery she would not have had this kind of contact and influence in the lives of so many women. Anne was able to put her ideals and influence to good use in spiritual study groups in her home in England and then in Boston.

The Sisters of St Joseph is an Australian Catholic organisation. It was founded in Penola, South Australia in 1866 by Mary MacKillop and Reverend Julian E Tenison Woods. There are about 886 sisters living and ministering throughout Australia, New Zealand, East Timor, Ireland, Brazil, Scotland and Peru. The Sisters of St Joseph participate in God’s mission by serving across a wide range of ministries, to meet needs in a variety of ways. Josephites seek to “never see a need without doing something about it”.

“The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati is an apostolic Catholic community of women religious that exists to carry out the Gospel of Jesus Christ through service and prayer in the world” (qtd. in “About the Sisters of Charity”). The Sisters are led by their mission statement to be “[u]rged by the love of Christ and in the spirit of [their] founder, Elizabeth Ann Seton, [the] Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati strive to live Gospel values. [They] choose to act justly, to build loving relationships, to share [their] resources with those in need, and to care for all creation” (qtd. in “Mission Statement”). Through this mission, they dedicate themselves to “the education of children, care of orphans, the poor and the sick” (qtd. in “Sisters of Charity Cincinnati”). These values are exemplified in numerous ways but specifically have been shown with the creation of educational institutions, orphanages, and their selflessness during the civil war.

Unemployment and financial struggles grew with this increasing population. Male dominance was considered the norm so women were left with unjust opportunities for unemployment and equality in the workplace (Women's Diaries, 1997). The Golding Sisters felt it was their duty to bring peace and equality to society so established such foundations as the Women’s Organising Society. By 1900, five million women were in the labor force (Women's Diaries, 1997). The Golding Sisters worked hard to remove discrimination from society, resulting in multicultural immigrants participating freely in Church activities and masses. The Church became what 19th Century Irish bishops hoped for; a Church based on the Irish model (Dixon, 2005). Their work was often described as a ‘practical expression of the Catholic faith’ (Fawkner & Kelly, 1995). Thus, the Golding Sisters should be commemorated for their works that changed the society and church for the better by receiving the Good Christian award.

Christianity also become involved in the formation of hospital care for the sick and dying.

Jacques Joubert, a French Sulpician priest, was given the task of the religious education of the children of the free, French speaking people of color. His sole purpose of teaching the children of color to read was so that they could recite the catechism, however in the black community’s vision, this education could serve as the solution for overcoming the trials of the black American experience. In 1827 Joubert initiated the Holy Family Society, a lay organization, to support the spiritual growth of Baltimore black Catholics. The priest formed this project among the immigrant black French speaking Haitians of Baltimore just as Lange was already running her own school. Not wanting to alarm anyone with the establishment of an official religious society of women of color, Joubert carefully put in the constitution that the women of color would not make vows but simply make a promise of obedience. The Oblate Sisters of Providence formed the first
