The Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres
A missionary Congregation, the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres were 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. Their first mission consisted in working to improve the human and spiritual level of the villagers by educating the girls and visiting the poor and the sick. Their fidelity to Paul’s teaching, the Sisters are imbued with a spirituality centered on Christ and they continually seek to respond better to the Lord’s call and to be living witnesses of the Gospel in today’s world.
