![]() In 1854 Marie Antionette Potier (who became Mother Madelaine) founded the Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary in France. In May 1864, three months after Mother Madelaine passed away, the entire group of eleven sisters, led by Mother Anna Tabourat and accompanied by four orphans and Father John Joseph Begel, came to eastern Ohio to teach French immigrants. They were quickly in action tending to sick people during an epidemic in the New Bedford area. The group was soon provided this former farm (pictured above) in Pulaski Township, which had been donated to the Catholic Church in 1846, for use as a motherhouse to continue their humanitarian efforts.
