Congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours is a
Roman Catholic religious congregation for nursing (gardes malades), whose
object is to care for patients from all socio-economic groups. Reflecting their
name ("bon secours" means "good help" in French), the
congregation's motto is "Good Help to Those in Need."
History
The congregation was begun by Archbishop de Quélen
of Paris in 1822, and was formally approved by Pope Pius IX in 1875. While
patients pay what they can afford, the congregation's members provide nursing
free of charge to the poor. According to their founding constitution,
"After the personal sanctification of its members, the principal aim of
this pious society is the care of the sick in their own homes". Sisters
traditionally wear a black habit and a white cap with a frilled border and
black veil.
By 1913, there were sixteen houses of the
congregation in France, four in Ireland, one in England, two in the United
States, and one in Belgium. Though founded with governmental approval, the
congregation suffered religious persecution during the early 20th century. For
example, in northern France, four large schools which had been started in Lille
and Lens to serve the local mining population were closed, based on accusations
that they were not in compliance with the institute's approved charter. In
addition, the Sisters' treatment of sick and wounded miners was suppressed, as
was a program called "la goutte de lait", or "the drop of
milk", a dispensary-like initiative which supplemented the food available
to miners' infant children.
