Mexico City

By 1918, the Congregation had grown to over 600 members with 60 different places of ministry scattered across the United States and Mexico. The need for establishing provinces had become an urgency, in order to more effectively govern, manage, and serve the ministries and the sisters. The province in Mexico was established in 1920 with purchase of property in Tucubaya, a suburb of Mexico City. The convent was blessed on December 8 with Mother Berchmans O’Connor being appointed provincial. The province had 77 sisters and 9 houses: 8 in Mexico and one on the Texas border (St. Joseph’s Academy in Eagle Pass, Texas.) The Provincial House, more commonly known as Casa San Angel, still serves as home to many of our Sisters, primarily those who are retired. The house also serves as the administrative locale for the general operation of the Congregation in Mexico. It is where our Sisters gather for major celebrations and other gatherings.
