In Catholic Europe, convents were heavily endowed over the centuries, and were sponsored by the aristocracy. Religious orders were founded by entrepreneurial women who saw a need and an opportunity, and were staffed by devout women from poor families. the numbers grew exponentially from about 900 in the year 1840, to a maximum of nearly 200,000 in 1965, falling to 56,000 in 2010. ==History== The first women religious in what would become the United States, were fourteen French Ursuline nuns who arrived in New Orleans in July 1727,〔Blondeau, Caherine. ''Étude normande: La vie littéraire à Rouen au 18ème siècle'': "Le Mississipy est en cet endroit plus large que n'est la rivière de Seine à Roüen", à propos de la ''Relation du voyage des dames religieuses Ursulines de Roüen à la Nouvelle Orléans'', p. 50.〕 and opened Ursuline Academy, which continues in operation and is the oldest continuously-operating school for girls, in the United States. The Sisters of Saint Anne are a Roman Catholic religious institute, founded in 1850 in Vaudreuil, Quebec, Canada, by the Blessed Marie Anne Blondin, S.S.A. The Sisters arrived in the United States in September 1867 at the request of the Bishop of Buffalo, opening a school in Oswego, New York.〔 Between 1840 and 1930 approximately 900,000 Quebec residents, most of them French Canadian left for the United States. Textile manufacturing centers and other industrial towns such as Lewiston, Maine, Fall River, Massachusetts, Woonsocket and Manchester, New Hampshire attracted significant French-Canadian populations. The Sisters went on to expand throughout northern New York and New England, staffing many schools of French-speaking parishes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Anne )〕
