The Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary was founded in 1610 by
St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal. Its mission is "to give to
God daughters of prayer" who honor Our Lady in her mystery of the
Visitation and who imitate the two virtues dear to the Sacred Heart -
humility and gentleness.
They came at the invitation of Bishop Joseph Schrembs, Toledo's first
bishop, arriving in Toledo, Ohio, on June 30, 1915. The Bishop asked
the sisters to "remain upon the mountaintop in prayer and sacrifice to
plead for the welfare and salvation of souls, particularly for those of
the diocese, clergy, religious and laity."
