Mother Mary Cecilia Bailly: November 22, 1862
Saturday. Feast of St. Cecilia, but it is not celebrated this year; the state of the country is such that we should not make merry.
In the Sisters of Providence Archives there is a bound transcription of the diary of General Superior Mother Mary Cecilia Bailly. She served as general superior after the death of Mother Theodore Guerin in 1856 until 1868, covering the turbulent years of the Civil War, 1861-1865. The diary consists of entries about the day-to-day activities of Mother Mary Cecilia, the Congregation and local and national happenings. Some entries are very short — one sentence — while others are more detailed.
