About Janet Erskine Stuart

Janet Erskine Stuart, RSCJ (11 November 1857, Cottesmore, Rutland – 21 October 1914, Roehampton), also known as Mother Janet Stuart, was an English religious sister in the Roman Catholic Church. She founded a number of schools. Stuart left the Church of England and converted to the Catholic Church in 1879. She joined the Society of the Sacred Heart at Roehampton three years later and, in 1911, became Superior General of the Society. Stuart continued to develop and search for her relationship with God into her early adulthood, when she met the Catholic priest Peter Gallwey, who became her spiritual mentor and friend.
