| Artist rendering of the First Brick Convent 1835 by Beverly Zoellner Groneck, SC'69 |
August 19, 1851 ~ Philippine writes to Madeleine Sophie Barat: "I beg you never to close this house of St. Charles. If you could only see the pretty place we have here, standing beside the church, you would not have the courage to take it from us. I sympathize sincerely with all the crosses you have to carry, but I beg you, take mine away by safeguarding the existence of this, our first dwelling-place in America."
