Beginning in France
In 1696 Pere Chauvet gathered four generous and zealous young girls to help him care for the poor, the children and the sick in his parish. This was the simple beginning of a religious congregation which today spans the five continents.
He also gave them his name, after the great Apostle, St Paul, thus the name SISTERS OF ST PAUL DE CHARTRES. From the very beginning, the young religious family was marked by the Paschal Mystery. However, the deaths of their first Superior, Marie Michau, in 1702, their co-foundress, Marie Anne de Tilly, in 1703, and their founder, Pere Louis Chauvet, in 1710, did not prevent them from spreading in France and beyond.

We were founded by Pere Louis Chauvet,
Parish Priest of Levesville, a small village in France.
In 1708, the Bishop of Chartres, Mgr. Paul Godet des Marais, called them to Chartres which became their centre.
