Sisters
(jrafifutle To Their Friends
September 19, 1952.
Dear Friends of StyJoseph’s Hospital:
We, the SistgS-s of St. Joseph of Carondelet, wislt to
express our deep gratitude to all those who, over a
period of years, have contributed in any way to make St.
Joseph’s Hospital a reality. Back in the fall of 1945,
when the first drive for funds for the erection of the
hospital was launched, none of us had the remotest idea
that it would be seven years before our purpose would be
accomplished. Perhaps the many delays and disappoint
ments will make us more deeply grateful, and make ns
appreciate St. Joseph’s Hospital in a manner that would
not have been possible, had the building been achieved
without difficulty. *
Now that St. Joseph’s Hospital is nearing completion,
it is with a profound sense of gratitude and love that we
thank God for the many generous friends who have
helped us bring this work of charity to fulfillment. We
feel that all those whb have been our benefactors in as
sisting us to erect St. Joseph’s Hospital, will continue to
sustain and support us in our work of caring for the sick.
We know that our faith and confidence in the devoted
help of the friends of St. Joseph^ Hospital will enable us
to give the fullest measure of ouT service and car-e to the
sick
“May God bless you!” is the fervBpt prayer of the
Sisters of St. Joseph. \j
Gratefully yours in Christ,
SISTER M. CAROLINE, C. S. J.

Nursing ^$ister£> Are
Noi New lo Augusta
s sc3fUGUSTA. Ga5 —The opening
ofSTrroscptrrHospital, which wilt
bring nursing Sisters of St. Joseph
to Augusta, reminds that nursing
Sisters are not really something
new in this city.
In 1854, the year after the Sisters
of Mercy established St. Mary’s
Academy in Augusta, the city was
visited by an epidemic of yellow
fever- The old parsonage of the
Catholic church was converted into
a temporary hospital, and here
among the sick and dying, Bishop
Francis X. Gartland, with the local
pajtor, Father John " Barry, who
was later to become Bishop Barry,
and his assistant, Father Gregory
Duggan, were aided by the Sisters
in scaring for the victims of the
drepded disease. Bishop Gartland
contacted the disease and died
front it in September, 1854.
Th\ Sisters of Mercy also nursed
wounded Confederate soldiers
during the stirring years from
1861 to\ 1865, when St. Patrick’s
Church Vas converted in an emer
gency hospital.
Members of' the faculty of the
Medical College asked the Sisters
of Mercy to staff and administer
the old City Hospital when it was
erected at th& corner of Walker
and Sixth streets around 1870, and
the Sisters served at the hospital
until 1891, whert it was necessary
for them to withdraw, much, it is
said, to the regret of City Council
and the citizens generally.
Sister Mary Ursula Bo we, R. S.
M., who died some years ago, and
who at one time was superintend-
ent of St. Joseph’s Hospital, Sa
vannah, was one of . the Sisters
who served at the City Hospital in
Augusta. The first Sisters sent to
the hospital in Augusta were S'rter
Eupharia, Sister Margaret, Sister
Bridget and Sister Mary Ann, with
Sister Dominica, who was in charge
of the pharmacy.
Shortly before her death, Sister
Ursula said that the late Hugh
Dempsey, as a member of city
council, was a moving spirit in
bringing the Sisters of Mercy to
Augusta’s City Hospital in 1870.
