Had you lived in Boston in the year of Our Lord 1834, you would have witnessed one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the Catholic Church. when anti-Catholic bigotry reached the limits of fanaticism in New England, and shrouded reason and charity in a cloak of bitterness and hate. First Foundation A little community of Ursuline sis- ters coming to Boston in 1826, after leaving their pleasant home in Trois- Riviers, Canada, established in 183-l one of the hrst schools of higher edu- cation in this section. llount Bene- dict, as this first foundation was named, was the new home of this little band. It was a pleasant place. with the ring- ing voices of laughing children. under the tutelage of the gentle sisters. After establishing the new convent. Blary Edmond St. George. llother Superior. began her new work. The pupils did not come at first as readily as was expected. probably because of the fact that this new educational estab- lishment was administered by a religious order of the Catholic Church.
