Mother Ignatia Campbell is one of 50 prominent citizens honored in a bronze sculpture “People and the City: a Monument for the City of London”, installed in 1991. In response to a request by Bishop John Walsh, Sister Ignatia and four other Sisters travelled to London to establish a convent in 1868. The Sisters were to tend to the sick and poor, teach in the separate schools, visit prisoners, and establish an orphanage. Bishop Walsh appointed Sister Ignatia as General Superior on December 18, 1870. Mother Ignatia was the moving force behind the opening of the new Mother House, Novitiate and Orphanage in 1900, as well as the St. Joseph’s Hospital in 1888, and the School of Nursing in 1901.
