We, Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres, was founded in 1696 by Fr. Louis Chauvet, parish priest of Levesville-la-Chenard, a little village in the region of Beauce, some 80 kilometers southeast of Paris.

Our first chapel was the parish church, our first field of apostolate was the surrounding hamlets. Our first house in the center of the village belonged to Fr. Louis Chauvet.

The love of Christ continues to impel us to manifest his tenderness and goodness to all.

Throughout the history of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres, since the early start of its foundation up to today’s realities of its mission, one can clearly detect the presence of the Holy  Spirit.

Now, we are present in 40 countries spread out in the 5 continents of the world; still faithful to our first mission but intensely to make the presence of Jesus felt in the many and different faces of the marginalized.
