Abstract
Among the truly great women of pioneer days, none hold so honored a place in the history of early America as do the foundresses of religious communities. Voluntarily to assume overwhelming hardships, privations, and sacrifices calls for heroism of no mean degree. To this group of heroines belongs the Venerable Mother Mary Gualberta, a Poor School Sister de Notre Dame.|Mother Mary Gualberta, commissary of the Notre Dame Sisters, piloted the little band of five Sisters who left their motherhouse in Horazd’ovice, Czechoslovakia, in April of 1910, to enter upon their apostolate among Czech immigrants in mid-western America.|It was for these that she spent the best years of her life. With the intrepid spirit and zeal of an apostle she served them, employing her time, talent, and energy to minister to their countless needs. By counsel and teaching, but primarily by writing—for she wrote prolifically—she worked in the interests of her compatriots.
