Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres
'''

The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres(SPC) was founded in Levesville-la-Chenard in 1696 by Fr. Louis Chauvet, a French Theologian from Pertuis. The aim in life of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres is to further the growth of the Kingdom

The Spirit and Mission of the Congregation. After the example of St. Paul, spurred on by the love of Christ (2 Cor. 5:14), the sisters make themselves all things to all men. The spirituality of the Sisters is Christocentric-Paschal. The love of Christ impels them to manifest his goodness and love to all. They are serving the people of God through education, care of the sick and pastoral care in the 5 continents of the world spread out in 44 countries.

''In these present times, we, the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres are likewise founders. Our communities, the basic units of the Congregation, have thus received this call to be founding communities. This can be done in the creative ways whereby we re-invent community life daily as we seek to remain faithful to the dynamism of our origins.

''Being creative means, to foresee, to search one’s way and to step into the unknown, as our Sisters have done in the past. After going through the previous pages of our history, we, as women of the future, now dare to turn a new page to write the present of this future.''

(excerpts from Mother Myriam's letter in the 46th General Chapter)

'' The Church in this present age urges us to enter into the Life of the Spirit, making us seek to desire to really live as moved by            the Spirit; be discerning - personally and as a community - of             the new signs of the Spirit in persons, in             communities and in world events; allow ourselves - in the light of our discernment - to            be moved, disturbed and be converted like Saint Paul, so as to take new orientations;

let ourselves be swept up in the Spirit’s dynamic Life, with humility and joy, like Mary. (CA 2007 P.17)
