This order was founded by an American woman who has been declared Venerable and has a miracle currently under investigation for purposes of her beatification. They are located in Louisiana,Texas, California, D.C, Alabama and also have sisters in Central America and Africa. [/quote] Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady?

Cornelia Connelly is on the Most Verable list. [/quote] Good guess Darlene, but I was thinking of The Sisters of the Holy Family, founded in New Orleans by Ven. Henriette de Lille who was a free woman of color. This is such a cool way to learn about the variety of religious orders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
