Our First Kentucky Home


St. Thomas

In 1814, the Sisters opened a one-room school at St. Thomas Farm, near Bardstown, Ky.

The first Kentucky home for the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth was a log house on the St. Thomas Farm. The log house and the church are the only original buildings still standing at St. Thomas that date to the beginnings of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.
