Go where you will, ladies, the hand of God is over you, With these words buoying up their hearts, Miss Clarke and her companions boarded ship at Liverpool on July l8, l833. They reached Philadelphia on September 7 to find that their only American acquaintance had been stricken by a fatal illness. ln their bewilderment their benefactor of the Liffey Bridge appeared and directed them to St. Joseph's Church, where they found friends. Father Donaghoe, the pastor, enlisted the young ladies for his Sunday School, and later he placed them in charge of a new private school. As time went on, guided by the counsel of their pastor, the young ladies determined to associate themselves under the religious vows. lt was on November l, l833, that they received the religious habit from the hands of Father Donaghoe, who appointed Mother Mary Frances Clarke as Superior and Sister Mary Mar- garet Mann as her assistant. From this humble beginning the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary whose Mother House was moved to Dubuque, Iowa, in l843, have carried the inspiration of four devoted Irish girls throughout the Middle West. The Sisters now number l,869, and they conduct lO8 elementary schools, 45 high schools, and 2 colleges.
