Mother of the Mayo Clinic

 

In the 19th century, a Catholic bishop traveled
from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Luxembourg
to preach at local parishes about the need
for teachers in the USA, especially among
Native Americans.

His words touched the hearts of two young
sisters, Maria Catherine Moes and her older sister,
Barbara.
Deciding to become missionaries,
the two women immigrated to the USA in 1851.

They traveled to Wisconsin, then Indiana, and
finally Illinois, and became Franciscan Sisters.
In 1877, Maria Catherine(now Sr. Alfred), her
sister, and several Franciscan nuns moved to
Rochester, Minnesota, after a local bishop asked
them to establish a Franciscan community
to work with immigrant children.

On August 21, 1883, a tornado struck Rochester.
The sisters turned their school into a makeshift
hospital to care for the injured.
They were aided by a local doctor, William
Worrall Mayo, and his two physician-sons.
Sr. Alfred quickly recognized Rochester needed
a hospital.

If the Sisters of St. Francis opened one,
she asked Dr. Mayo, would he and his sons
serve as physicians there ?
Although it was unusual for an Episcopalian doctor
to staff a Catholic hospital, Dr. Mayo agreed.
On September 30, 1889, the Sisters of St. Francis
opened St. Mary Hospital.
The hospital is now part of the Mayo Clinic.
Sr. Alfred Moes died on December 18, 1899.
