ST. VINCENT'S INFIRMARY
Bishop Francis Silas Chatard began work to open an infirmary here in St. Joseph's Seminary by 1878. Many local residents and physicians opposed the infirmary, fearing the spread of disease. The Daughters of Charity St. Vincent de Paul in Maryland sent sisters to take charge of the infirmary 1881. It was incorporated as St. Vincent's Infirmary 1884.
