Opposition forced her to leave this city in 1809; she then took the road to Namur which became the motherhouse of the Institute. Until her death on April 8, 1816, she continued her educational work by founding schools for poor young girls: in France in Montdidier, Rubempr\u00e9 and Raineville and in the future Belgium in Saint-Nicolas, Namur, Jumet, Saint-Hubert, Ghent, Zele, Andenne, Gembloux and Fleurus. All houses had free primary school; sometimes some students paid to meet the needs of the poorest. Several communities also managed a boarding school and a secondary school. Mother Saint-Joseph continued the founding of several houses (Dinant, Li\u00e8ge, Thuin, Verviers, Huy, Bastogne, Philippeville). In all, more than 50 houses and schools have been created in France and the south of Belgium and around fifteen in the north of the country.<\/p>\n
