Founded in Le Puy, France in 1650, the Sisters arrived in Wales from India in 1939. In 1958 they founded a house in Dublin.

Through schools, hospitals, orphanages and community life, the Sisters' work has reached across Ireland, Wales and beyond. This site brings together their published history and information about their archives.
