This was the first congregation of non-enclosed Dominican women in Britain. They work in University chaplaincies, parish missions, schools and further education institutes, as well as provinding care and support for the elderly, young and vulnerable.

Was my answer to the order guessing game correct? My answer was Dominican Sisters of the English Congregation of St Catherine of Siena, Stone,

If I may step in, I have one: Order that was founded by two nuns from France. A movie was based on their foundation, but with little attention to the "real" facts. The order is well and thriving today. (And there is a Sister Praxedes in the community, but I'm not her!)

Our principal house is in [url="http://www.stone-dominicans.org.uk/Stone.html"]Stone, Staffordshire[/url], and hence we are sometimes known as the 'Stone' Sisters. It was a foundation made by [url="http://www.stone-dominicans.org.uk/Stone.html"]Margaret Hallahan[/url] who, in 1845, was the first to found a congregation of non-enclosed Dominican women in Britain.

These sisters work primarily with Mothers and babies in Europe. They wear white and work in hospitals and clinics. Who are they?

[LaPetiteSoeur]

Resurrecting this thread because VS needs some cheeriness! My question still stands on the above order. WHO ARE THEY?

[Strictlyinkblot]

Bon Secour sisters?

[marigold]

Good idea LPS! No idea about the order though...

[FutureSister2009]

The Little Sisters of the Poor?

[she_who_is_not]

Good Shepherd Sisters?

[LaPetiteSoeur]

Another clue: They have a large midwifery/obstetrics apostolate.

[FutureSister2009]

The Sisters of Life?

[LaPetiteSoeur]

nope. I'm trying to find the order myself--it's been so long since I looked them up! I know they have a motherhouse in France, though.

[das8949]

one guess is the Sisters of Charity of Nevers, France

another possibility would be Mother Kevin's Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa.

LPS - this is a tough one!

I'm wondering if it could be the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary (who were founded as sort of an active branch of the Cistercians, but had hospitals--they wore white with black scapulars and veils....) or perhaps the Daughters of Charity - I know they did nursing among the poor and had foundling homes from the very beginning.... and at least later they wore white in hospitals, but blue and white cornettes everywhere else....

Help! take us out of our misery! (But thanks for the great challenge!)
