The first sisters of this order were
brought from Ireland and arrived in
this city on November Is, 1861 They
settled in small house on Green street
and opened school. Two of the four
sisters who came to this country re-
turned to Ireland on account Of the
hardships they encountered. On De-
cember the present convent on Powell
street was erected and grew with un-
usual rapidity, and it affords to-day
every facility for learning to it's pupils.
