Beyond the Call - 150th Anniversary Edition

This is an incredible story about the role of a particular group of religious women who were vital participants in the foundation and growth of the Roman Catholic Church in nineteenth century Florida and Georgia. Although this story reveals the part played by one European religious group in developing the American Catholic Church into the twenty-first century, it is paralleled by the majority of European religious groups who planted the seeds of Catholicism in the New World. For the most part, but not exclusively, information for this story is gleaned from the letters and chronicles found in the archives of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Saint Augustine, Florida and from the records of their parent Congregation of Le Puy, France. The 1800's witnessed men and women religious of various European foundations traveling to the New World to bring Christianity to the inhabitants. Among these groups were Sisters of Saint Joseph who were founded in seventeenth century France. This book tells their story.

Written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in 2007, the story was re-published in honor of the Sisters' 150th Anniversary of serving in the mission fields of Florida.
