This article is about the healthcare services provided by the Sisters of Charity (Filles de la Charité) during cholera epidemics in institutions opened and managed in nineteenth century Istanbul as part of their Eastern missions. The annuals in which reports and letters were collected and addressed to the center of the congregation in Paris,Annales de la Congrégation de la Mission et des Filles de la Charité(ACM), are used as primary sources. This study aims to evaluate the pandemies of cholera within the framework of world history and Ottoman context by contributing to the existing historical geographies of cholera, in addition to the literature, which accentuates the importance of agency of women in the Ottoman context, based on original findings. The article assesses how cholera affected Istanbul and how the disease was dealth with, through the connections between the sisters and local actors. The study also shows that the Ottoman example was not only a result of Western experiences, but although it was part of a wide history of pandemics, its actors had their own unique developments shaped by imperial and local settings and events., Este artículo trata sobre los servicios de salud brindados por las Hermanas de la Caridad (Filles de la Charité) durante las epidemias de cólera en instituciones abiertas y administradas en el siglo XIX en Estambul como parte de sus misiones orientales. Los anuarios en los que se recopilaron informes y cartas y se dirigieron al centro de la congregación en París, Annales de la Congrégation de la Mission et des Filles de la Charité (ACM), se utilizan como fuentes primarias. Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar las pandemias de cólera en el marco de la historia mundial y el contexto otomano haciendo una contribución a las geografías históricas existentes del cólera, además de la literatura que acentúa la importancia de la agencia de las mujeres en el contexto otomano, con base en hallazgos originales. El artículo evalúa cómo afectó el cólera a Estambul y cómo se enfrentó la enfermedad, a través de las conexiones entre las hermanas y los actores locales. El estudio también muestra que el ejemplo otomano no fue solo el resultado de las experiencias occidentales, sino que, aunque fue parte de una amplia historia de pandemias, sus actores tuvieron sus propios desarrollos únicos moldeados por escenarios y eventos imperiales y locales.

Cilj je ovoga rada, metodologijom uobičajenom u povijesnoj znanosti, opisati pripreme za otvaranje filijale (podružnice) kao i sam doček sestara milosrdnica sv. Vinka Paulskoga Provincije Majke Dobrog Savjeta – Rijeka u Župu sv. Mihovila arkanđela u Žminju 15. prosinca 1972. godine, gdje one pastoralno djeluju sve do danas. Predstavljeni su rezultati arhivskih istraživanja, usmenih svjedočanstava te je korištena relevantna historiografska literatura. Riječ je o prvom radu koji znanstveno obrađuje jednu žensku redovničku zajednicu na području Porečke i Pulske biskupije u drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća., The earliest reference to the Parish of St. Michael the Archangel in Žminj is from the 12th century. During its history, it was also the seat of the collegial chapter and produced a number of priestly and religious vocations. This paper describes how the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul were invited to and arrived at the Žminj parish in 1972. The paper is structured as follows: Introduction, A look at the history of the parish of St. Michael the Archangel in Žminj until 1972, Preliminary work for the arrival of the Sisters, Negotiations crowned with success, The house of Bianka Peteh, Communication of the provincial and the board of the Society in Zagreb, The solemn ceremony for the Sisters’ arrival and closing remarks. Negotiations for their arrival officially began on the initiative of the Žminj parish priest, Marcel Krebel, in March 1968, and were concluded on December 15, 1972 with their arrival. The methodology for this article is based on an analysis of archival sources (primarily chronicles written by the sisters, parish chronicles and other documents), oral testimonies and relevant historiographical literature. This is the first paper which deals scientifically with the arrival of a female religious community in the Poreč and Pula diocese in the second half of the 20th century, and it was written on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the sisters’ arrival and their continuous work in the Žminj parish for the last half century.

Rad se bavi kasnobaroknim dvorcem Lužnica u Zaprešiću koji je dala podići plemićka obitelj Rauch u trećoj četvrtini 18. stoljeća. Cilj mu je predstaviti dvorac u kontekstu uspješne prenamjene, revitalizacije i konzervacije jednog takvog kulturnog spomenika. Na početku rada je pregledom povijesti grada Zaprešića i okolnih mjesta predstavljen kontekst u kojem je nastalo cjelokupno imanje, dvorac i perivoj Lužnica. Potom su kronološki istaknuti svi vlasnici imanja i dvorca kroz povijest, među kojima su, uz obitelj Rauch, svakako najpoznatije sestre milosrdnice koje dvorac posjeduju već gotovo stotinu godina i koje su u njemu otvorile duhovno-obrazovni centar. Naredna poglavlja uključuju povijest gradnje dvorca i perivoja, arhitektonsku analizu njihovog postojećeg stanja te valorizaciju, kao i opis provedenih konzervatorsko-restauratorskih istraživanja i zahvata na dvorcu. Posljednje se poglavlje detaljnije bavi revitalizacijom i prenamjenom dvorca osnivanjem "Duhovno-obrazovnog centra Marijin dvor" i svim sadržajima koje su sestre milosrdnice u njega implementirale te tako stvorile uspješan model povezivanja iznimno vrijedne kulturne baštine, duhovnosti, edukacije i suvremenog turizma. The thesis deals with the late Baroque castle Lužnica in Zaprešić, which was built by the noble Rauch family in the third quarter of the 18th century. Its aim is to present the castle as an example of successful conservation, conversion and revitalization of such a cultural property. The first chapter gives an overview of the history of the town of Zaprešić and its surrounding area as an introduction to the context in which the entire estate, castle and park Lužnica were created. In the following chapter all the owners of the estate and the castle are listed chronologically throughout history. Among them, along with the Rauch family, the most famous ones are certainly Sisters of Charity who own the castle since 1925 and who opened a spiritual and educational center there. The following chapters include architectural history, analysis of the existing condition and valorization of the castle and park, as well as a description of the conservation and restoration research and interventions on the castle. The last chapter in more detail describes the revitalization and conversion of the castle into the Spiritual and Educational Center “Mary’s Court” and all the amenities that the Sisters of Charity implemented in it and thus created a successful model of combining extremely valuable cultural heritage, spirituality, education and modern tourism.

The following research work uses unpublished and edit sources to show the ideological struggle in Lima during the second half of the nineteenth century between the recently created Faculty of Medicine of Lima (San Fernando) for leading and organizing a struggle to sanitize up the hospitals and the city against the charitable entity of the Society of Public Charity of Lima, an institution that watched over the food, education and health of the sick and dispossessed, but that was protected in Christian charity and did not present any scientific contribution, only welfare represented by a community of affluent and wealthy people who give their goods for the maintenance of the needy classes. This ideological struggle will be supported, also, by the arrival of the Sisters of Charity, in Peru, who will be invited by the Charity Society to be in charge of hospitals and provide moral and spiritual help to the sick, having a direct confrontation with the doctors, which was reflected in newspapers and magazines of the time., En el presente trabajo de investigación se muestra mediante fuentes inéditas y editas la lucha ideológica en Lima durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX entre la recientemente creada Facultad de Medicina de Lima (San Fernando) por dirigir y organizar una lucha por higienizar los hospitales y la ciudad contra el ente caritativo de la Sociedad de Beneficencia Pública de lima, una institución que velaba por la alimentación, educación y salud de los enfermos y desposeídos, pero que se amparaba en la caridad cristiana y no presentaba ningún aporte científico, tan solo asistencial representado por una comunidad de gente opulenta y rica que entrega sus bienes para la manutención de las clases menesterosas. Esta lucha ideológica estará apoyada, a su vez por la llegada al Perú de las Hermanas de la Caridad, quienes serán invitadas por la Sociedad de Beneficencia para hacerse cargo de los hospitales y brindar ayuda moral y espiritual a los enfermos, teniendo un enfrentamiento directo contra los médicos, la cual se plasmó en diario y revistas de la época.

Nadalje, temeljem dostupne dokumentacije, donosi se i pregled daljnje suradnje s članicama iste družbe na različitim područjima Muchtinova djelovanja. Analizira se društveno-povijesni kontekst, kao i kontekst duhovnosti Hrvatskog katoličkog pokreta koji je usmjeravao Muchtinove pouke usmjerene prema ženama, kao i prema redovnicama, na što ukazuju dva Muchtinova teksta (“Zaručnica Kristova” i “Krist i žene”). Rad donosi i prikaz djelovanja sestara milosrdnica u sušačkoj državnoj bolnici u razdoblju Muctinova djelovanja u svojstvu bolničkog kapelana, kao i podatke o daljnjoj suradnji članica Družbe s Muchtinom u prvim godinama nakon osnivanja Župe sv. Male Terezije od Djeteta Isusa u Podvežici., The article analyses the pastoral care that Adam Muchtin, from 1932 to 1942, directed towards the members of the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul - Zagreb, who were employees in the state hospital in Sušak. Available sources show that Muchtin and the members of the afore mentioned religious congregation also collaborated in a variety of fields of Muchtin’s pastoral activity. The article reviews social and historical contexts as well as the spiritual context of Croatian Catholic Movement which influenced Muchtin’s instructions directed to women and women religious, what can be seen from two Muchtin’s texts (“The Spouse of Christ” and “Christ and Women”). Furthermore, the article presents the work of the Sisters of Charity in the state hospital in Sušak during the period when Muchtin was the hospital chaplain. The indication of the further collaboration with the sisters is also outlined (the collaboration that took place after the foundation of the Parish of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus).

Članak obrađuje okolnosti stradanja sestre Žarke Ivasić, članice Družbe sestara milosrdnica svetog Vinka Paulskog - Zagreb, u kontekstu komunističke represije prema Katoličkoj crkvi tijekom prvih poratnih godina (1945.-1946.). Naglašena je poteškoća objektivne rekonstrukcije događaja koji je doveo do namještenog procesa i smrti sestre Žarke Ivasić, a odnosi se na ustaški napad na Otočac i otočku bolnicu 13./14. rujna 1943. s obzirom na jednostranost dostupnih izvora i literature (komunističkog podrijetla) te informacija dobivenih o događaju u iskazima svjedoka njezine osude i smrti, koji su također trpjeli represiju vlasti. Optužbi i smrti sestre Žarke Ivasić posebice je pogodovao njezin redovnički (katolički), ali i bolničarski poziv. Također, u članku se želi pokazati da je vidljiv rast i oblikovanje njezine "krivnje" prema potrebi komunističkih vlasti u određenome trenutku, u dokumentaciji iz različitih godina, što je jedan od važnih pokazatelja izmanipuliranosti cijelog procesa kao i nevinosti sestre Žarke Ivasić., The article analyses the surroundings of the suffering of Sister Žarka Ivasić, a member of the Society of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul – Zagreb, in the context of Communist repression towards the Catholic Church during the initial post-war years (1945- 1946). Highlighted is the difficulty of an objective reconstruction of the events which led to the staged process and the death of Sister Žarka Ivasić, and refers to the Ustasha attack on Otočac and the Otočac hospital 13th-14th September 1943 with regards to the one-sided available sources and literature (of Communist origin) and information obtained about the event in testimonies of witnesses of her conviction and death, who also suffered the repression of the authorities. The charges and death of Sister Žarka Ivasić notably served her monastic (Catholic), as well as nursing calling. In the article also wishing to be shown is that the growth and shaping of her "guilt" towards the needs of the Communist authorities in any given moment is visible, in the documentation from various years, which is one of the important indicators of the manipulation of the entire process as well as the innocence of Sister Žarka Ivasić.
