Sisters of Charity Involvement
St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Church in Baltic, Connecticut, was founded in 1869. The pastor of this parish, Rev. J.C. van Laar, saw the need to establish a school for the children of this town. Because he was already acquainted with the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of Mercy, in Tilburg, Holland, he asked Bishop John Zwijsen, Archbishop of Utrecht and founder of the congregation, to send some teaching sisters to his parish. The sisters arrived in Baltic on October 7, 1874, and on October 15 of that year opened St. Joseph School with four hundred students using the old public school building.
In 1970 the sisters staffing the school became part of a new congregation the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, which separated from the original congregation in Holland. It was at this time that an advisory board was established, consisting of the pastor, the principal, and eight lay members.
The Sisters, along with additional lay teachers, continue to staff St. Joseph School, ministering to its students by providing a strong spiritual, academic, and extracurricular program.
