St. Joseph's School, later called St. Joseph's Academy, was run by the Sisters of St. Francis. This order of religious nuns, in America, originated in 1855 in the city of Philadelphia. Bishop John W. Neumann enlisted the help of the sisters who had a base community in Ireland. Pope Pius IX counseled the bishop to found an American Community from within the ranks of his own parish in Pennsylvania. In reviewing the census records at St. Joseph we can see the prevalent Irish background of the Sisters, and also the Community's ties to the state of Pennsylvania. | St. Joseph's School, later called St. Joseph's Academy, was run by the Sisters of St. Francis.
