1909 - The idea with America failed. Both sisters were asked to set up a facility of the Congregation in England. The day of launch of a branch in Rochdale, near Manchester, falls on April 25. At 90 000 inhabitants of the city, there were only 10% of Catholics. For them sisters started a little private school, and later a kindergarten.
1914 - World War I broke contact with the mother country. Stay and work of the sisters were only possible depending on the superior of British nationality.

Later, a lady who provided the lessons in the parish school in Rochdale, took over this task.
