The original title of the chapter was "Third Order Dominican Sisters". I have posted simply "Dominican Sisters" to reflect the Order of Preachers' 1970s decision to scuttle delineations and call themselves "Family."
The third establishment of the frontier sisterhoods in Kentucky were the Springfield, KY, Dominicans:

There's also a pdf regarding the centennial celebration in 1922, but I can't get the URL. However, a Google search for the St Catharine Motherhouse should bring it up. The pdf gives an excellent reflection on the Dominican motto, and how the Sisters lived it.
The St Catharine Motherhouse was renovated a number of years ago, and the architect shows some photos of the exterior:

At one time, there were 30 congregations of Dominican Sisters, with the primary apostolate of teaching - hence the I, II, and III designations. Due to a lack of Vocations, two new congregations were formed from mergers. The mergers will be discussed in the Vocational Links post.
