St Joseph's Island

In 1887, five Sisters of St Joseph travelled from the colony of New South Wales to Westbury, Tasmania, to set up a Catholic parish school. This book "documents the history of the Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph in Tasmania over the next 125 years. It follows their development as a community of religious through the social and political events that marked this period of history and charts their contribution to the education and cultural enrichment of the rural and city communities where they ministered."--Back cover.
