MINIMS OF THE SACRED HEART OF MARY. - Institute founded in 1844 by Giulia Chauchard, who had spent her life instructing children and caring for the sick in the village of Cruéjoula (diocese of Rodez), where she was born in Nov. 1793. With six companions, on 10 Jan. 1844 she took the religious habit and began her work.
The bishop of Rodez approved the Institute and the Constitutions, and in 1879 had the mother house transferred to Rodez. The decree of praise is dated 14 June 1876; that of approval and confirmation of the Institute is dated 9 Sept. 1882. The first temporary approval of the Constitutions dates back to 1888, the definitive one to 23 June 1900. The revised text was again approved on 18 March 1937.
The special purpose of the Institute is the Christian education of youth and the care of the sick, including in their homes.
In 1948 the sisters numbered 486 and the novices 20, distributed among 63 houses.
