Three orders of sisters—the Sisters of Charity, Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, and Sisters of Loretto—arrive in St. Louis, transforming healthcare and education. From hospitals and orphanages to schools for the deaf, their work lays the foundation for Catholic service in the Midwest, supported by Bishop Rosati’s tireless recruiting.
