In 1727, twelve nuns left France to establish a community of Ursuline nuns in New Orleans, the capital of the French colony of Louisiana. Notable for founding a school that educated all free girls, regardless of social rank, the Ursulines also ran an orphanage, administered the colonys military hospital, and sustained an aggressive program of catechesis among the enslaved population of colonial Louisiana.
