Presented by Sister M. Petra Nielsen, Sister of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration and Vice President of Mission Integration for Franciscan Health Michigan City

Six Sisters of Saint Francis arrived from Olpe, Germany on December 14, 1875 to establish a community of their order and a hospital in Lafayette, Indiana. Nearly 150 years have passed since their arrival.
 
Sister M. Petra Nielsen, Sister of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration and Vice President of Mission Integration for Franciscan Health Michigan City will speak about the history of the founding and further development and growth of St. Elizabeth Hospital and the School of Nursing. She will include some stories and anecdotes, as well as pictures from their Archives.
