Queen's Daughters

Queen's Daughters

Queen's Daughters is a religious and charitable society founded at St. Louis, Missouri, December 5, 1889, by Miss Mary Hoxsey. It was organized to supplement the work done for the poor in their homes by the members of the Conference of St. Vincent de Paul. Several years later, the papal sanction and blessing were accorded (July 17, 1894). The society since spread to numerous parishes of the United States and around 1910 there were thirty-five associations affiliated to those at St. Louis.
