And the Word was made flesh, And lives among us …

About Us

Who are we? At the beginning of the 19th century, a time of turmoil in France, Louis Marie Baudouin and Charlotte Gabrielle Ranfray were fascinated by the beauty of the mystery of Jesus, the Incarnate Word. Seeing the needs of the people devastated by the terror of violence and oppression of the French Revolution, the Holy Spirit inspired them to commit their whole lives to the service of their sisters and brothers "rebuilding the Church" and society of their day.

Today, with the same audacity, we find the presence of Jesus incarnated in events and in the different faces of people around us. We live as Sisters in community and respond to the needs of our society by being the presence of Jesus, Missionary of the Father. We announce God's love and compassion in the midst of our world, witnessing to the attitudes of Jesus, Word made flesh today.

The first Sisters came from France in 1911 and settled in Edmonton. Presently, we are in Edmonton and Prince George.
