HISTORY OF CLUNY :
Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey urged by the desire to seek, find and accomplish the Will of God, founded the congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny in France. In fulfilling the Will of God, she went beyond the boundaries of France of Africa and Mana (South America). At Mana she was the pioneer for the liberation of African Slaves(apartheid). Her Sisters, scattered over the five continents, imbued with the same zeal, carry on her mission in the social, medical and educational fields.
In 1826, the first three Cluny Sisters came to Pondicherry. They were followed three years later by Mother Rosaline Javouhey, Anne Marie’s younger sister. In accordance with the Spirit of the Foundress, they launched out into social, medical and educational fields.
