About the Book:This is a historically rich account of a pioneering journey undertaken by the first seven Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet from St. Louis, Missouri, to Tucson, Arizona, in 1870. This diary details the 36-day expedition, capturing the spirit of faith, dedication, and endurance of the seven Catholic nuns as they embarked on a mission to establish a new outpost in the remote American Southwest. The diary begins on April 20, 1870, as the Sisters leave behind the relative safety of St. Louis to answer the call for religious service and education in the rapidly expanding, yet challenging, frontier of Arizona. Sister Monica Corrigan provides a day-by-day account of their arduous trek across vast distances, through rugged terrain, and under extreme weather conditions. The journey was fraught with uncertainty, discomfort, and danger, but the Sisters' unwavering faith and camaraderie shine through as they face these obstacles with courage and determination. The diary not only provides insight into the physical hardships endured but also highlights the spiritual motivation behind the Sisters' mission. They were tasked with bringing education, healthcare, and the teachings of the Catholic faith to Tucson, a community that had limited resources at the time. Upon their arrival on May 26, 1870, their successful journey marked the beginning of an enduring legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph in the region. The book is a poignant and inspiring historical document that sheds light on the sacrifices and pioneering efforts of religious women in the West. It offers readers a glimpse into the personal experiences of Sister Monica and her companions, showcasing their remarkable faith and dedication in the face of adversity.
