DAUGHTERS OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY (Langres). - The Institute was founded around
1835 at St-Loup-sur-Anjou, diocese of Langres,
by the diocesan bishop, at whose inspiration a
pious lady consecrated herself together with two companions to the
Christian education of girls and to the relief of the
sick and the poor. The work developed to the point of becoming
a religious Congregation under the Rule of St.
Augustine, and, as such, had its constitutions approved
by the same Ordinary of Langres. On 7 Aug. 1867
the decree of praise was granted and on 21 May 1890 the approval of the Institute, while that of the constitutions is from 1938 ad experimentum.

The sisters devote themselves to the Christian education of
girls, promote courses of spiritual exercises among seculars, have orphanages, works of Christian zeal, such as
that of catechism classes and tabernacles.

They currently have 8 houses and 60 sisters.
