Description
The Institute of the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity was founded by St. John Eudes, in 1641 in Caen, France.
On July 8, 1855, Sister Jerome Tourneux of Rennes, France, established the first Foundation in North America in Buffalo, New York, and thus began the spread of the Mission of Our Lady of Charity in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
In 1944, the Communities of Our Lady of Charity in North America formed a Federation. Sister Agnes Dunne, of the Erie Community was elected the first President of the Federation.
