Seasons of Nature andof Grace recounts
the history of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Wheeling (West Virginia)
from the time of their arrival in Wheeling, Virginia on April 13, 1853
through the end of 2002. A twenty page prologue traces origins of the
Congregation from mid-17th century France through its first American
foundation in Carondelet near St. Louis, Missouri in March of 1836.
Wheeling was among the first to establish independent mother houses
in the United States and Canada. Seasons of Nature and of Grace is offered
in celebration of the Sisters of St. Joseph Sesquicentennial in West
Virginia. Copies of this well-researched 300+ page history are available
for purchase through the SSJ Mission Advancement Office in Wheeling.
