Grey Nuns Order
Founded 1738
The.Order of Grey Nuns, one
•f the largest bodies of Sisters of
Charity in North America, was
founded in Montreal in 1738.
The Grey Nuns, whose name is
derived from their grey habit,
have a two-fo];l aim: the educa
tion of youth from kindergarten
to college and the care of the
sick, the infirm, the aged, the
(homeless poor, orphans and des
titute The Sisters also visit the
poor and sick in theil- own homes
when necessary.
Coming to Kodiak are five
Grey Nuns from Philadelphia.
They will leave Seattle on Oct.
12 and arrive about the 20t,h.
Three of the members, including
the Suiierior, are registered nurs
es. The other two members will
serve in other capacities. The
Sister Superior, Sister Mary
Monina has had long nursing ex
perience and has been Superior
of several large hospitals in New
York State.
In 1753 the Grey Nuns were
given charge of the General hos
pital in Montreal by Royal De
cree. Since that date they have
opened and conducted hundreds
of hospitals, schools, homes and
Missions, ranging from the Arc
tic regions of Canada to the fai
away China and darkest Africa,
They have a record of two cent
uries of unselfish devotion and
charity toward the sick, the or
phan and the poor. Region and
climate make no difference and
the same charily is dispersed re
gardless of race, color or creed.

HENRY FORD RECENTLY SAID
‘‘After all, people liave made a lot of money out
of thia war while the servicemen have made prac
tically nothing, and have lost from one to three
years productive time.”
Our best way of using a part of that saoaay and
bringing home the servicemen more quickly for
productive effort is to.
