The Catholic Congregation of the Sisters of St. Ann had a humble start in Quebec in 1850, but when Bishop Modeste Demers asked for help at his West Coast diocese, the Sisters said yes. At a time in history when most people would be born, live, and die in the same area, these women were leaving home for an unknown land in the wilderness with no expectation of ever returning. Bishop Demers and his entourage arrived, expecting to see a scattering of quiet cabins surrounding Fort Victoriainstead, the newcomers had arrived smack in the middle of a gold rush, and the fort housed a fair seasoning of gamblers, swindlers, thieves, drunkards, and jail birds. Not surprisingly, the Sisters started out teaching but quickly found they were needed to help nurse the sick too. Darlene Southwell, who was granted unlimited access to the Sisters archives, spent five years writing Caring and Compassion, which serves as both a history of the Sisters healing pursuits in BC and a mirror of the times.
