History: Blessed Emilie Tavernier-Gamelin founded the Sisters of Charity of Providence [a.k.a. Sisters of Providence] in Montreal, 1843, who self-identify with the post-nominal initials, 鈥淪.P.鈥� Under Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart (1822-1902), the sisters made their first U.S. foundation in Vancouver, Washington, 1856, which developed into the Sacred Heart and St. Ignatius Provinces that served Native missions and schools in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Washington (e.g. Chelan, Clallam, Coeur d鈥橝lene, Cowlitz, Entiat, Eskimo, Kalispel, Koyukon, Methow, Nespelim, Nez Perce, Okanogan, Paloos, Salish, Sanpoil, Senijextee, Tulalip, Wenatchi, Yakama). The two provinces merged as the Mother Joseph Province (Seattle, Washington), 2000.
