Franciscan Sisters Begin Centennial Path in Wisconsin
In May 1849 six Bavarian Tertiaries arrived near Milwaukee to aid immigration and ministry led by Rev. Keppler and Rev. Steiger. They faced poverty and cholera, but Bishop Henri urged unity as they built the future Sisters of St Francis of the Perpetual Adoration, with St Rose in La Crosse as motherhouse.
