| Abstract | Profiles the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Milwaukee Province, which sought to teach the mostly German immigrant children of the area. Mother Caroline Friess established a Motherhouse and school in Milwaukee and five years later, in 1855, set out to find land for a girls’ orphanage and a home for sick sisters. The money to build on a new site in Elm Grove came from the Louis Mission Society of Bavaria, with funds donated by King Ludwig. The site boasts a distinctly Bavarian-style castle like structure now known as Notre Dame Hall. |
