Let Us Be Their Life Line!

St Louis Nuns Work In Brazil.

Their Organisation

Like many religious communities, St Louis

Sisters were founded in post-revolutionary

France, in 1842, in July, outside Paris.

Their Founder

The founder, Louis Marie Eugene Bautain,

was guided by the Spirit of Sint Unum – May

they be one. His passion of one world,

healed, unified, and transformed, continues

to inspire all we do today.

Mission Statement

We, Sisters of Saint Louis, commit ourselves

to live God’s love for the whole of creation

and especially to stand in solidarity with the

poor and marginalised.

Only the beginning

The St. Louis Ecology Group was set up in the Irish Region in 1993. The role of the group was to offer leadership , educate ,

and raise awareness of this important issue in the Region. From the outset this

group aimed to link Ecology with theology, scripture , spirituality and our founding

charism SINT UNUM-That all may be one.

This was honouring the thinking of our founder Abbe Louis Bautain who in a diary

published the year after his death 1868 numbered “cosmology ( the study of the world and of nature )” with theology and

philosophy as the three domains of human knowledge needing to be harmonized, “a

noble enterprise of exploration” he named it .

There are approximately 500 Sisters of St. Louis around the world - Ireland, Brazil,

England, France, Ghana, Nigeria and the USA. They also have a foundation in the

Republic of Benin. This has been established by the Nigeria province.

They are involved in a diversity of ministries: health care, education in its

many facets, counselling, writing. retreat giving, spiritual direction, parish ministry, care of the elderly, women’s issues and

much more.
