International means interrelated, interdependent. Instant communications constantly expand our global consciousness, connecting all nations and peoples into a true global village. As the Sisters of Bon Secours address the health and social needs of the global communities in which we serve, we reflect on the international dimension of our mission.

The Sisters of Bon Secours were founded in Paris in 1824, amidst the devastation following the French Revolution. The Sisters proposed nursing the sick in their homes, serving wherever a need was present. Today, with the Congregation’s headquarters in Paris, the Sisters of Bon Secours’ health care ministry has grown to include the countries of France, Ireland, England, Scotland, the United States, and Peru.

Since 1824, Bon Secours has brought the message of compassionate healing, hope and reconciliation. From health care to education to housing, hospital and clinic to parish, urban to rural, Bon Secours responds to a universal need: To provide to all who suffer a reason to live and a reason to hope.

We invite you to journey with us through our international sites to share with you our commitment to the people and communities we serve.
