IN 1836 A request by Bishop
Rosatl of St, Louis brought six
of the Sisters to America, Their
first convent was a log cabin in
the little village of Carondolet
near St, Louis. The community
flourished and branched out to
other parts of the United States,
A foundation made at Phila
delphia, Pennsylvania started a
daughter house in Flushing, New
York, and from there a group
moved in 1869 to Ebensburg,
a beautiful little town in the
Allegheny Mountains of western
Pennsylvania. The mission
there became a new autonomous
foundation and in 1900 the
motherhouse was moved to its
present location in Baden, 20
miles from Pittsburgh, The
Baden-based community known
as the Congregation of the
Sisters of St, Joseph of the
Diocese of Pittsburgh is a
Pontifical Institute and numbers
over 700 members.

Founded at Le Puy, France,
in 1650, the Sisters of St. Joseph
became the first religious com
munity of women who were un-
clolstered. For the first time
in the history of the Church
women bound themselves by
religious vows and dedicated
their lives to works outside
convent walls,
St. Francis de Sales had en
visioned such a group but the

times were not ripe for it; it
went against the popular concept
of the nun's vocation and St.
Francis' Visitandlnes had to be
cloistered. Half a century later
Bishop Henri de Maupas and the
Jesuit John Peter Medallle, co
founders of the Sisters of St,
Joseph, succeeded in obtaining
ecclesiastical approbation for
their ’ modern” community.
They placed it under the
patronage of St, Joseph in order
that its members might serve
their neighbor with humility,
charity and fidelity as St.
Joseph served Jesus and Mary,
DURING the closing years of
the next century,, the life of the
Daughters of St. Joseph (as the
community was first called)
paralleled that of their father
in a way the founders could not
have dreamed of. In 1789 the
French Revolution broke out and
the Reign of Terror abolished
all religious societies, Like the
Holy Family fleeing the wrath
of Herod, some of the Sisters
found safety in flight and lived
in e^ie, but many were ar
rested and imprisoned. Five
gave their lives on the guil
lotine and only the fall of
Robespierre and the con
sequent end of the war saved
several others from the same
death. In this group was Sister
St, John Fontbonne. Released
from prison on the very day she
was to have been executed she
returned to her parents' home
and remained there for several
years until she was asked by
the Bishop of Lyons to reor
ganize the community in that
city. The restored community
was soon spreading throughout
Europe,

JUNE, MONTH OF THE SACRED HEART of Jeeus. The Feast of the Sacred Heart,
celebrated throughout the Catholic world this year on June 5, commemorates the love
and sacrifice of Christ for the redemption of mankind. (John 19:31-37). The devotion to
the Sacred Heart was revealed by Christ when he appeared to St. Margaret Mary Ala-
coque, a nun of the Visitation Order, at Paray-le-Monial, France in the 17th century. The
above painting of the apparition hangs in the chapel of the Convent of the Visitation Sla
ters in Bethesda, Md.

Resolution On Prayer
Prior to World War II the
community was engaged in
foreign mission work in
Yuanllng, China, but when their
convent and hospital were de
stroyed by Japanese bombs the
Sisters were obliged to return
to the United States,
Prevented by the Communist
take - over from returning to
China when the war was over,
the Sisters were pleased when
the Passlonlst Fathers with
whom they had labored in China
asked in 1956 for Sisters to staff
their miesion school in Atlanta.
Thus this congregation founded
in the North by pioneers from
the South has returned to labor
in the South where the Sisters
now conduct three elementary
schools: two in Florida and
St, Paul of the Cross in At
lanta.
They also share the teach
ing at Drexel Catholic High
School in Atlanta. In the North
they teach in 49 grade schools,
12 high schools and one catech
etical center. In addition to
teaching, the Sisters maintain
St. Joseph Hospital in Pitts
burgh and assist in the super
vision of Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital in Washington,
D.C. In the near future the com
munity will resume its foreign
mission work by opening a mis
sion in Borba, Brazil, on the
banks of the Amazon River.

WASHINGTON (NC) — Rep.
Hugh L. Carey told the House
committee studying public
school prayer amendments it
should also be concerned with
the rights of parents of child
ren in nonpublic schools which
teach religion.
The New York legislator,
speaking before the Judiciary
Committee (June 3), proposed
a Congressional resolution
which he said defended parental
rights over their children’s re
ligious development in both pub
lic and private schools.
THE RESOLUTION (a J. Res.
1036) consists of two sections:
1. No parent shall be denied
the right to have any of his
children engage involuntary re
ligious exercise in any public
school...
2. No. parent shall be denied

"SOME OF you may be need
ed to start discussion clubs or
to initiate classes for adults
on some aspect of the active
inner and outer participation
in the liturgy called for by the
constitution," Mrs, Ryan told
(June 7) graduates of the col

the Sisters of Charity of Mother

the right to financial support
from any governmental entity
for the education of his child
ren by reason of the attendance
of his children at ^ non-public
school of the parent’s choice.
Carey, a member of the House
Education Committee, is an out
spoken supporter of giving gov
ernment education aid directly
to parents who could use it at
the school of their choice.
Carey spoke on the final day
of seven weeks of hearings by
the committee on nearly 150
proposed constitutional amend
ments to offset the U.S. Su
preme Court's 1963 and 1963
decisions against prayer and
Bible reading in public schools.
CAREY SAW , the issue of
prayer in school primarily as
one Involving the rights of par
ents. "The parental right is
prior to any social or govern
mental right in the sense that
one holds it precisely as a par
ent and not as a legal conces
sion from society," he said.
He advanced his proposal
concerning the right of parents
in nonpublic schools, he said,
"to rebut any Implication which
might arise from singular con
sideration of public school re
ligious exercise amendments
that there is no similar concern
for the rights of parents in
the non-pub,ic schools which
now teach religion."
The concluding day of the
committee's hearings Included
a loud complaint from a spec
tator that atheists had not been
represented in the parade of
YMChers, professors andpoli-
tlcl ana before the committee.
Chairman Emmanuel Celler
of New York refused to let him
testify, ordering him to submit
a statement. Klinkert told news
men that when children pray, it
is like exposing them to false
and untrue advertising.
THE COMMITTEE is expect
ed to get down to voting on the
prayer issue in late June. Its
course of action Is not clear,
but one unofficial survey of the
25-member unit reportedly
shows 16 are opposed to any
constitutional amendment and 3
plan to absent themselves from
a vote.
In the meantime, Rep. Frank
J. Becker of New York, spon
sor of the leading proposed
amendment before the commit
tee, said he would be willing to
drop that part of it which would
prevent the Supreme Court from
ruling against references to God
on coins and in public ceremon
ies.
But Becker said he will not
make any concessions on the
principal provision which would
permit prayer and Bible read
ing in public schools if child
ren of objecting parents are ex
cused from participation.
IN THE meantime, although
public hearings were ended, the
committee continued to receive
opinions. Eighty-five Indiana
opinions. Eighty-five Indiana
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish
clerics opposed an amendment
in one statement and 223 consti
tutional lawyers and teachers
took the same stand In another.
The statement of the lawyers
and teachers was circulated by
four widely known figures in the
field of constitutional law and
Church-State relations: Father
Robert F. Drinan, S.J., dean of
the Boeton(Mass.)College Law
School: Paul A. Freund of Har
vard Law School; Wilbur G. Katz
of the University of Wisconsin
Law School; and Leo Pfeffer,
general counsel of the Ameri
can Jewish Congress, New York.

Bishop Opposes
Pray Amending
STEUBENVILLE, OHIO(NC)
Steubenville’s Bishop John
King Musslo opposes the pro
posal to amend the Constitu
tion to allow prayers and Bible
reading in the nation’s public
schools—but he said he’s glad
the situation occurred.
The prlate stated his per
sonal opinion is that prayer in
public schools in no way vio
lates the basic tenets of the
Constitution. He added that he
believes also the government
has no authority to compose
prayers and that none can be
forced to recite prayers aga
inst his religious convictions.
HE SAID he’s glad the mat
ter was brought up because now
the nation has a chance to study
the problem In the light of the
minds of the framers of the
Constitution.
rights of God inthelifeof man."
HE SAID the proposal for the
prayer amendment was "the
backlash of the schocked as
tonishment of a large segment
of our American people
that prayer is officially black
balled from our schools."
Bishop Musslo said he fears
if the prayer amendment is
approved "it would become the
one and only norm determin
ing the religious Influence in
the school," He said it would
become "the official Interpre
tation as to how far we can
apply. . . the guarantees of our
Constitution; then we would lose
out seriously,"
The Bishop expressed his
views in an article for the
Stebuenvllle Register, dio
cesan newspaper,
"We want much more than
just a prayer," Bishop Musslo
said. "We want everything our
Constitution provides for us.
And, believe me, that is a lot
more than we can ever secure
from a prayer amendment. The
battle la really no battle at all.
Everyone—or almost every
one—is fighting for the same
purpose: to find a rightful solu
tion to a problem that touches
man’s liberty, and also the
