OUR ORIGINS

The Congregation of Sisters of Charity has been founded by St. Jeanne-Antide THOURET, on the 11^th of April 1799 in Besancon- France, according to the spirituality of St. Vincent de Paul.

Answering to the call of God and the need of the time,  St. Jeanne-Antide  opened the first free school in a rented room Rue Des Martekits; and next to it, she established a pharmacy and a "Soup Kitchen" or "a Boiler" to help the sick and the poor.

She helped the children, the youth and the adults materially and spiritually, proclaiming the Gospel to them.

In 1810, the institute extended to Savoy and Naples (at the demand of King Murat and Madame Leatitia - brothr and mother of Napoleon Bonaparte).

QUR CHARISM   It takes its roots of The Gospel Mt. 25:40 

"Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me."

To love  Jesus Christ, to love and serve the poor who are His members, materially as well as spiritually.
"... in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did it to Me".
