On 10 April 1851 three of these sisters were invited, and they settled at Brook Green (Hammersmith). Once the first difficulties were overcome, new English vocations arose and the work spread throughout England. The cardinal wished that the sisters of England, in addition to their works of charity for the aged and the sick, should also add orphanages for illegitimate and abandoned girls; but as the sisters who had come from France opposed this, he detached the English branch from the French one and constituted it as a true congregation in its own right, named P. S. of N. On 3 August 1883 the Institute received the decree of praise and final approval on 24 March 1888. At present the sisters number 857, distributed among 59 houses.
