Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many American Catholics in the twentieth-century the face of the Church was a woman's face. After the Second World War, as increasing numbers of baby boomers flooded Catholic classrooms, the Church actively recruited tens of thousands of young women as teaching sisters. In Into Silence and Servitude Brian Titley delves into the experiences of young women who entered Catholic religious sisterhoods at this time. The Church favoured nuns as teachers because their wageless labour made education more affordable in what was the world's largest private school system. Focusing on the Church's recruitment methods Titley examines the idea of a religious vocation, the school settings in which nuns were recruited, and the tactics of persuasion directed at both suitable girls and their parents. The author describes how young women entered religious life and how they negotiated the sequence of convent "formation stages," each with unique challenges respecting decorum, autonomy, personal relations, work, and study. Although expulsions and withdrawals punctuated each formation stage, the number of nuns nationwide continued to grow until it reached a pinnacle in 1965, the same year that Catholic schools achieved their highest enrolment. Based on extensive archival research, memoirs, oral history, and rare Church publications, Into Silence and Servitude presents a compelling narrative that opens a window on little-known aspects of America’s convent system.

Download or read book Religious Orders of Women in the U. S. written by Mrs. Elinor Tong Dehey and published by . This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 908 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an unedited reprint of the original 1930 edition. Blue Imitation Leather hardcover with Gold Gilt lettering on the spine & front cover. Hundreds of photos of nuns in their Traditional Habits..etc. *Religious Orders of Women in the United States* was written by Elinor Tong Dehey in 1930. In 1913, the same author had published an earlier edition of this directory and this is its revision. Dehey's work was the first attempt EVER made to collect a listing of every religious order of women in the United States describing their origins, their foundresses, their works, activities, charism, way of life clothing (habit) and institutions. Rev. Thomas McCarthy later published his famous *Guides to Catholic Sisterhoods*, but Elinor Dehey's book was the first and is much more extensive in its research and presentation.Unlike the McCarthy Guides which confine each order to one page, some of Dehey's entries need many pages (orders like the Ursulines have 40 pages, the Sisters of Mercy have 88 pages and the various Charity orders have 30 pages). Other smaller, lesser known communities can be described in a single page or two (like the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of the Refuge or the Sisters of the Infant Jesus). The entries are presented in chronological order starting with the earliest community in America (the Ursulines in 1727) to the most recent (1930 Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa).This 908 page hardbound book is filled with over 400 illustrations of sisters, foundresses, Motherhouses, novitiates and institutions (schools, colleges, hospitals). Along with historical sketches of the origins of each order and its founders, the story of the development of each individual mission in the U. S. is related including naming the pioneer sisters who sacrificed so much to spread God's Word and to fulfill their vows. These sketches always conclude with a Summary chart which lists the official name of the order, the place and date of its original foundation, a description of the habit worn by the sisters, the approximate membership numbers and a listing of their institutions.The Directory ends with a 50 page supplement giving the addresses of the Motherhouse, Novitiate, College, Hospital and Boarding Home in the United States conducted by religious orders of women (in 1930, of course). The book concludes with a 5 page Glossary of words such as: prioress, grille, cornette, oblate, bandeau, wimple, coif, guimpe, etc.) *Religious Orders of Women in the United States* by Elinor Tong Dehey is the definitive Directory of all of the Catholic Sisterhoods existing at that time and remains a valuable resource today. An excellent addition to any Catholic Library. Reg Retail of $59.99 each. The original sells for $200+ when you're lucky enough to find a copy.
