The Beginning About 1821, some time after the Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, several young women met in Paris and organized themselves to visit and care for the sick in their home regardless of their social situation, and to bring them a message of hope. On January 24, 1824, in the Church of St. Sulpice in Paris, Monsignor de Quelen received the religious profession of these young women. On January 17, 1827, Bon Secours was recognized by the government as the first association of women religious for the care of the sick established in France. |

Consecrated to Jesus Christ, the Sisters promised to live according to the Evangelical Councils. Assembled by Him in fraternal community and united in prayer, the Sisters love to call upon Mary: "Our Lady of Bon Secours." Sent by the Church, the Sisters share the compassionate love of Christ. The mission of the Sisters extends to the world of health and education. |
In 1992, France sent Sisters to Ecuador, to enter into the poor community in the service of the Church. There they carry out various apostolic activities: evangelization, parish care, dispensary, and social work. We are available, to all forms of apostleship in keeping with "the spirit of Bon Secours." "To serve first those who are most in need." (Constitutions No. 9)
