Our Foundress
Our beloved Foundress Mother Veronica was an Anglican by birth, a Catholic by conviction and a religious by choice. Her father, the Anglican pastor Rev. Daniel Leeves had an edifying influence on his family and impressed upon his children the virtues of piety, charity, search for truth and knowledge. Sophie Leeves grew up cultured and highly accomplished. Knowledge of Greek and music were part of her erudition. Sophie’s questioning mind and her forthright nature made her examine the tenets of her Faith and slowly she found herself drawn to Catholic doctrines, to the Blessed Mother, the Saints and the Sacraments. Sophie was also deeply aware of the powerful presence of God’s grace in her life. At the age of seventeen she experienced a direct communion with Christ who blessed her with His Peace. Her search for True Faith led her to Catholicism and her resolve to live a life close to Christ made her break off her engagement to a naval officer and initiate her entry into the Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition in 1850.
