This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the Roman Catholic religious order, the Oblate Sisters of Providence (OSP), and their roles as educators, religious women, and community leaders from the antebellum period through the Reconstruction era.In 1828, the Oblate's founder, Mother Mary Lange, created the religious order alongside Sulpician Priest, Father James Nicholas Joubert. The Oblate Sisters' primary mission was to educate African American girls despite the pressures to the contrary in the slaveholding state of Maryland. Also, the Oblate sisters had founded their school, Saint Frances Academy, which offered African American girls a religious, classical, and vocational education. The school endeavored to give students a skillset to survive in the local economy while allowing young girls and religious nuns to positively define notions of Black womanhood through the Catholic faith.As the first female Catholic religious order of African descent in the United States, the Oblate sisters endured opposition from both the Catholic Church and the community of Baltimore. Even though the strict consecrated life required by the church could be perceived as oppressive of women, especially Black women who lived in a society restricted by enslavement, the Oblates successfully built a sanctuary community that offered a degree of freedom for young African American girls and women.This thesis argues that the Oblate's actions offered Black girls and women possibilities to resist societal expectations of Black womanhood. However, empowering Black girls and women to specifically reject these expectations was not the order's intent. The community did not see themselves as activist or Black feminists. Instead, the Oblates embraced the Cult of True Womanhood, which restricted women significantly. However, by following these traditional gender standards, the Oblates upended racist expectations of Black womanhood. As a result,their contributions during the antebellum period through Reconstruction aided the educational advancement of African American girls and women and challenged the intersectional oppression they encountered in the Catholic Church, the city of Baltimore, Maryland, and American society at large.

Download or read book Building Sisterhood written by Sisters, Servants of The Immaculate Heart of Mary and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The often forgotten role of Catholic sisters is told in experiences deeply rooted in self-realization and feminist methodology. In this collection of thirteen essays the contributors illuminate the little known world of a very creative and committed community of women—their aspirations, their values, their mission. An often neglected part of feminist research, this type of sisterly collaboration affirms the seminal paradigms in women's work and writing. These essays deal with many of the same issues of power, economic autonomy, friendship, spirituality, socialization, and professional commitment encountered in other feminist endeavors. Building Sisterhood gives the reader insight into the rigorous training involved in becoming a nun, including the complex relationships between the Monroe community, other IHM sites, and within the intricate church hierarchy. Feminist historian Margaret Susan Thompson places the essays within a historical context and provides detailed background for those unfamiliar with the life, duty, and experience of Catholic sisters. This book will make a unique contribution to feminist scholarship, religious studies, and women's history

Download or read book The New Orleans Sisters of the Holy Family written by Edward T. Brett and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sisters of the Holy Family, founded in New Orleans in 1842, were the first African American Catholics to serve as missionaries. This story of their little-known missionary efforts in Belize from 1898 to 2008 builds upon their already distinguished work, through the Archdiocese of New Orleans, of teaching slaves and free people of color, caring for orphans and the elderly, and tending to the poor and needy. Utilizing previously unpublished archival documents along with extensive personal correspondence and interviews, Edward T. Brett has produced a fascinating account of the 110-year mission of the Sisters of the Holy Family to the Garifuna people of Belize. Brett discusses the foundation and growth of the struggling order in New Orleans up to the sisters' decision in 1898 to accept a teaching commitment in the Stann Creek District of what was then British Honduras. The early history of the British Honduras mission concentrates especially on Mother Austin Jones, the superior responsible for expanding the order's work into the mission field. In examining the Belizean mission from the eve of the Second Vatican Council through the post–Vatican II years, Brett sensitively chronicles the sisters' efforts to conform to the spirit of the council and describes the creative innovations that the Holy Family community introduced into the Belizean educational system. In the final chapter he looks at the congregation's efforts to sustain its missionary work in the face of the shortage of new religious vocations. Brett’s study is more than just a chronicle of the Holy Family Sisters' accomplishments in Belize. He treats the issues of racism and gender discrimination that the African American congregation encountered both within the church and in society, demonstrating how the sisters survived and even thrived by learning how to skillfully negotiate with the white, dominant power structure.
