“What a sight it must have been back then” a passerby might have exclaimed in 1865. They would be staring at the newly established Petites Sœurs de l’Assomption in the throes of industrial Paris. The Petites Sœurs de l’Assomption emerged from the vision of Father Étienne Pernet and Antoinette Fage. These two individuals, deeply moved by the plight of the poor and working class, particularly the families struggling in the wake of industrialization, sought to bring solace and care. Imagine the tireless dedication of these women, responding to the call of God “to procure the Glory of God by the salvation of the poor and the little ones.” Within the walls of their first home, situated in the then industrial outskirts of Grenelle, their mission unfolded. They offered free healthcare to those who needed it most. Their efforts resonated with the community, attracting other like-minded individuals to their cause. The Petites Sœurs de l’Assomption expanded, their compassionate reach extending beyond the borders of France, their cradle, and eventually embracing the world. The legacy of the Petites Sœurs de l’Assomption serves as a poignant reminder of the impact faith and empathy can have, transforming lives and offering hope where it’s needed the most.
