Founded for the work of teaching. They were given a Rule founded on that of Saint Alphonsus, prepared by Father Gilet. The order manages schools, a college, an academy, and an orphanage for girls, all in the states of Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio. The mother-house is at Monroe. In 1856 an independent mother-house was established at Villa Maria, West Chester, Pennsylvania. These sisters conduct a college, academies, high schools, parochial schools, nurseries, houses for settlement work, a Catholic children’s home bureau, the educational department of Saint Joseph’s home, and high school annexes. Another independent mother-house was later founded at Scranton, Pennsylvania.
