Sisters of Charity of St. Paul

Sisters of Charity of St. Paul

The Sisters of Charity of St. Paul of Chartres are a Roman Catholic religious congregation, for teaching, nursing, visiting the poor and taking care of orphans, the old and infirm, and the mentally ill. They were founded at Chartres in 1704 by Monsignor Maréchaut, a theologian of Chartres Cathedral, assisted by Mlle de Tilly and Mlle de Tronche.

There are no lay-sisters, but every sister must be prepared to undertake any kind of work. The interior spirit is a love of sacrifice and labor for the spiritual and temporal good of others. The postulancy lasts from six to nine months, the novitiate a year, after which the sisters take vows annually for three years, and then perpetual simple vows.
