St. Joseph's Hospital and Maternity was established to take care of the health of the people in the area.

It soon grew to one hundred and thirty-three (133) and, then, one hundred and eighty-eight (188).
In the same year, 1938, it was found necessary to establish the School of Midwifery to train local women to join them in ministering to sick people and, especially, to pregnant women. Later Arch Bishop Heerey went on pilgrimage to Lourdes, in France.
