Beginning in Hong Kong
It was in 1848 when the first four Sisters of St Paul of Chartres arrived in Hong Kong from France in response to the request of Bishop Augustine Forcade, Prefect Apostolic of Hong Kong.
Wanchai. Despite the many difficulties and privations they experienced, soon after their arrival the Sisters immediately took in their first unwanted and abandoned baby - the first of thousands of poor children they would save from a life of neglect, poverty and misery, even death, for more than a hundred and fifty years.
Causeway Bay. In time, they gradually expanded their charitable services to include the education of children outside the orphanage, the care of the aged and infirm, the physically handicapped, and the sick. When Wanchai could no longer provide sufficient accommodation, they moved some orphans and sick children to Happy Valley in 1907. Finally, in 1915 the Asile in Wanchai was abandoned and transferred to Causeway Bay, which is at present the centre of their apostolic works.
