On a day, which is considered as a date of foundation of our Congregation, Sister Alphonse Marie left her parental home and settled down at a home, later called the “Little Cloister”. It happened on August 28, 1849. Immediately, from the day that Elizabeth entered into “Little Cloister”, she was surrounded by some postulants.
“Among the saints, who beseech for us the true confidence in the Blessed Virgin,
is especially St. Joseph, the greatest servant of Mary.”
(Blessed Alphonse Marie Eppinger)
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of St. Joseph’s proclamation as patron of the Universal Church, we would like to introduce the veneration and relationship of Blessed Alphonse Marie to St. Joseph.
