According to a book on google books, The LSOTP came to Troy in 1872-1873. The home in Troy was due entirely to the initiative of the Society of St Vincent De Paul, and with the assistance of the Society of St Vincent de Paul the sisters secured a building valued at $12,000 and within a year were caring for 100 aged persons. > http://www.littlesistersofthepoor.org/contactus > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "M McAlonie" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 1:38 PM > To: "TIGS" <[email protected]> > Subject: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Religious sisters ...
