Filippini |
| Founded in 1692 in Montefiascone,
Italy, by Saint Lucia Filippini, (canonized by His Holiness, Pope Pius
XI, June 22, 1930). In August 1910, according to the wishes of Saint Pius
X, five sisters left Italy and established a foundation in the United States
at Morristown, New Jersey. Their devotion to the promotion of Christ by
example, the sanctification of its member, and the education of youth includes
teaching in elementary schools, missionary activities, catechetical instruction,
social work as well as other parish activities. |

| Sisters of the Order of Mercy |
| The Sisters of Mercy were founded
by Mary Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland, December 12, 1831. The first
American foundation was established in Pittsburgh in 1843. Three years
later, at the invitation of Chicago's first Bishop, five Sisters came from
Pittsburgh to open the very first Catholic school in Chicago. In the Chicago
Province, the Sisters labored in sixty-five institutions, including forty-five
elementary schools, seven high schools, a college, eight hospitals and
four homes for business girls. The Sisters of Mercy expanded into over
100 diocese and Archdiocese throughout the United States. |
