History: Founded in the Netherlands, 1855, the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity self-identified with the post-nominal initials, "O.S.F." They made their first North American foundation by 1886; organized a North American Province, 1928, and thereafter subdivided it into three provinces: Holy Name (Stella Niagara, New York) for the eastern United States; Sacred Heart (Denver, Colorado) for the Midwest United States; and St. Francis (Redwood City, California) for the western United States. Under Rev. Mother Kostka Schlaghecken, O.S.F. (1850-1932), the sisters staffed and taught at two Catholic schools among Native Americans in South Dakota:
|
1886-1928 (transferred to Holy Name/ North American Province, Stella Niagara, New York) |
St. Francis School (Brulé Lakota), St. Francis, Rosebud Reservation/ Agency, South Dakota/ Dakota Territory |
|
1886-1928 (transferred to Holy Name/ North American Province, Stella Niagara, New York) |
Holy Rosary School (Oglala Lakota), Pine Ridge, Pine Ridge Reservation/ Agency, South Dakota/ Dakota Territory |
