Weaving Hope

History & Biography

“In Weaving Hope, historian Janice Farnham recounts the saga of her congregation’s American mission, starting with the immigrant sisters who educated countless immigrant children with minimal resources, and continuing into the twenty-first century. The unique experience of the Religious of Jesus and Mary in the United States is also a significant chapter of a larger American story involving the tens of thousands of women religious who have made an enormous contribution to our social fabric.”
