Sisters Of CHARITY.
BeneGcent Work of the Members of This Organization
Many Years Old

Among the religious bodies established In
Washington there is none that has called
forth more praise for work accomplished
than the Sisters of Charity. In war and
peace this sisterhood has been unremitting
in its labors for the alienation of suffering,
its hospitals and asylums being ever
haven for the sick and orphaned. In TINS
city particularly the Sisters of Charity are
well represented.
First Sin importance is Providence Hos
pital, located on the block bounded by II
and Z, I'd and Sd streets southeast Found
ed in 1851, this institution has taken Its
place among the most complete hospitals
in the country.
Antedating this by many years was st.
Vincent's Orphan Asylum, OF which Rev.
William Matthews, the second pastor OF
St. PatricA Church, was the founder.
This prelate was Instrumental In estab-
fishing the first branch of the order in fhis
city. October T. 1925, three sisters came
here from Emmittsburg to take up the
work. They located in small house stand
ing back on f street, and 1t is pleasing
commentary on the growth of the city IN

large but inadequate building at the cor

ASYLUM at 23d and X streets northwest.
This was established in 1860, and during all
these years has performed an incalculable
service.
1t may be of interest to describe in part,
at least. the development of this organiZa
ton. Though Sisters of Charity had -four
ished in France several hundred years ago.
the branch in this country was founded by
an American born and bred Mother Seton,
whose memory will doubtless be revered as
long as the memory of man runs. The
beneficent ministrations of these women
has been manifold and not confined TO
creed. Their charities have been universal

When Mrs. Seton commenced her institu-
ton in Baltimore she had no certain pros
pect of forming a religious society. but
when her mind was finally made up a
place in the vicinity of the sisterhood was
selected as the site, about a half mile
south OF the village
Mother Seton determined, in conjunction
with the ecclesiastical superiors to form
the institute upon that of the Daughters OF
charity, founded by 81. Vincent de Paul,
and measures We're Immediately taken to
procure the constitution and rules of that
society. Once started. ST. Josephs COM
munity advanced rapidly and acquired
character which has made 1t an object OF
weil-nigh universal admiration. Owing to

the sisters.
