Description: From Nuns Convent CollectionSoil from the Grave of Venerable Mother Mary Theresa relic badge1 7/8" x 2 3/8"New, see photos(1860 – 1918) Mother M. Theresa was born Josephine Dudzik on August 30, 1860, in the village of Płocicz in western Poland. The Dudzik family immigrated to America in 1881 and settled in Chicago on the northwest side in the vicinity of St. Stanislaus Kostka Church. After an economic downturn in Chicago in 1893, Josephine observed the horrible conditions of the aged, poor and orphaned in her neighborhood and was inspired to help them. She came to their aid spiritually and physically, even sheltering some in her own family home. Upon the advice of her pastor, Josephine formed a religious community to help her aid the elderly and those in need. Thus, on December 8, 1894, the congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Blessed Kunegunda was born (later the Sisters changed the name to the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago). Josephine took the religious name Sister Mary Theresa. In the coming years, the congregation grew as the Sisters expanded into child and elder care and education, and more women joined them. Sister M. Theresa passed away on September 20, 1918.
