The Congregation of the ‘Daughters of Mary and Joseph

The Congregation of the ‘Daughters of Mary and Joseph’ (DMJ) was founded in 1817, in Aalst (Alost), by Constant van Crombrugghe where he was the Principal of the ‘Collège d’Alost’.

The Daughters came into being as a response to the needs of girls from poor Belgian families who were suffering from the effects of widespread famine and great misery.

In 1875 the Holy Family Sisters came to Newbridge and took charge of the religious education of the local catholic children.
