Sacrificing the brilliance other social rank, Pauline resolved to become a religious to devote herself to the Christian education ot youth. On August 2l, l849, in Paduborn, Germany, she laid the founda- tions ofa new order, adopting the significant title of the Sisters of Christian Charity. Confronted with the problem ot the KULTURKAMP and the May Laws, which restricted their teaching activities, this far- sighted toundress, with the spirit and zeal of an apostle, directed her ambition beyond the seas in quest of a new lite of labor, ln l873, a Provincial House was founded at Wilmette, Illinois.

'l' Mount St. Francis, in Motherhouse of the Sisters of St, Francis .. Peekskill New York. ln i865 four Franciscans Sisters of a community founded in Europe for the education of the young, estab- lished a school inf the parish of the famous Franciscan Monastery on Thirty-first Street in New York City. ln order to train properly the young Americans who sought admission into this community a novitiate was founded at Peekskill, New York. One of these young novices was Sister Francis, who is now regarded as the American foundress. Little is known of her life, but her spirit of humility, self-sacrifice and desire to serve God through His little ones has prevailed in the community. Sister Francis was a source of constant inspiration to the young members, who prompted by her holiness came closer to the Savior and nearer to their life's goal-sanctity. This example continues to draw many young women to the Order of the Franciscans, which, we pray, will flourish under the protection of St. Francis and the Guardianship of St, Anthony, while Almighty God smiles His blessings on the wonderful works of the Sisters.
