SISTER M. LAURENTIA, S.S.J. Religion, Home Economics, Librarian Mathematics, History At Wildwood Catholic ten Sisters of St. Joseph give their time unselfishly to the students. They are ever mindful of the fact that the essence of education is example and direction. Their dedi- cated lives provide the students with both of these. Their Community, the Sisters of St. Joseph, was founded in 1650, in Le Puy, France. In that year six dedicated French women received the rule and the religious habit which were to dis- tinguish them and their followers as Sisters of St. Joseph. During the French Revolution, the Sisters were dispersed; many were imprisoned; and five were guillotined. In 1836, six pioneer Sisters of St. Joseph came to America to make the first American foundation at Carondolet, Missouri. Today the Sisters of St. Joseph, after one hundred fifteen years in their Motherhouse at Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, number over 2300 Sisters, carrying on their apostolate, which is, almost exclu- sively, the education of Catholic youth. 8

They direct the individual stu- dents toward the achievement of their ultimate goals in heaven, while fitting them, at the same time, for their work in life. Like the Religious faculty, these teachers fill our minds with truth and knowledge; at the same time, they take an active part in our activities. They are enthusiastic in all we do. Under their supervision, the students at Wildwood Catholic receive one of the most comprehensive educations available to Catholic youth today.
