When Cornelia Connelly founded the Society of the Holy Child Jesus in 1846, she established a religious congregation that was responsive to the needs of the time or in her own words, “meets the wants of the age.” Today, serving across four continents, nearly 400 Sisters of the Holy Child carry out their mission in many ways—as teachers, spiritual leaders, health care professionals, lawyers, social workers, parish administrators, and pastoral care workers, to name just a few.
