History

The Villa St. Rose was established in 1902 by the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd, founded by sister Rose Virginia Pelletier, a native of France. [2] Pelletier received her holy habit and was officiated as Sister Mary of St. Euphasia in 1815 at the Convent of Refuge in Angers, France. [6]

The Villa served as a boarding school for troubled adolescent girls, and in its early years had a peak of 200 students. [7] By 1972, the Villa continued to serve in this manner, housing and rehabilitating girls from ages 12 to 21. [7]

As of 2017, the Villa has been converted into Rosemont Court, which contains housing for 100 low-income elders and 18 families. [8]
