Today we remember August 28, 1868, when eight Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ arrived in Hessen Cassel at the invitation of Bishop John Henry Luers. He asked Saint Katharina Kasper for Sisters who could serve the many German immigrant families settling in the area. Within weeks of arrival, they were running the parish school and caring for the sick.

The sisters care for immigrants reshaped healthcare in northeast Indiana. In 1869, they opened St. Joseph Hospital, the city's first hospital. When the hospital was sold in 1998, its proceeds created the St. Joseph Community Health Foundation to continue that mission of care.

Care for immigrants has always been important to the Poor Handmaids' mission. It guides the Foundation today as we support programs that welcome our newest neighbors with dignity and compassion.

On this anniversary, we give thanks for the eight Sisters who crossed an ocean and for a mission of hospitality that continues to shape our community.
