History of the Order

The Société de Filles de Charité was founded by Perrine Thulard (1654-1735) in 1682, with a mother house in Chapelle au Riboul and communities throughout Maine (France). After its dispersal during the French Revolution, the community was reformed at Evron (in department of Mayenne) in 1835. The order has a particular focus on teaching and the care of the sick.
Following the secularisation of education in France in the late 19th Century, twelve sisters were sent to England to open a convent school in Filey, North Yorkshire. The Sacred Heart Convent school opened a year later in 1905. Subsequently, communities were established in Canada (Trochu, Alberta, 1909), Ireland (Stella Maris convent, Lisdoonvarna, 1954), Ivory Coast (1957), Burkina Faso (1986), and Peru (Lima, 2003).
The English Province was formally created in 1957, with Provincial offices at Marymount (until 1971), Liverpool (St Helen's convent, Woolton, until 1992) and Manchester. Novitiates were established in Romiley (1950/51-1956), Lisdoonvarna (1956-1966), West Kirby (1966-1968), Heswall (1968-1974), Marymount (1974-1979), Ingleholme Road, Liverpool (1979-1981), Stockport (1981/82-1994), Henesy House, Manchester (from 1994).
Communities within the English Province (England and Wales) were as follows: Filey (1904-1968), Romiley/Stockport (Harrytown 1912-1975, Shalom from 1975, currently in Adswood Lane West), Marymount in Mossley Hill, Liverpool (1947) Lisdoonvarna (1954, although in Ireland this was part of the English Province), Porthmadog, Wales (1958) Henesy House, Manchester (1965, in Sale, with additional houses opening in Greenheys 1975 and Collyhurst 1993), West Kirby (1966-1985), Heswall (1968-1974), Wythenshawe, Manchester (1969-1979), Woolton (1971-1992) Runcorn (from 1973), Ingleholme Road, Liverpool (1979-1981), Nelson (1991-1996), Brinnington (from 1997)
Schools were run within Filey (until 1968), Romiley and West Kirby (until 1977). Nursing homes were established in Porthmadog, Manchester (Henesy House, for elderly deaf people) and Lisdoonvarna.

Arrangement

Original order has been largely kept, however, record types have been split between houses wherever possible as these reflect how they were kept in the individual houses before being brought together into one archive.
SLE/A: Records from the General Council (based in Evron, France), the General Chapter and the Council of the Congregation, including printed constitutions, acts of Chapter, papers for the meetings of the Council of the Congregation, circular letters and reports
SLE/B: Records from the English Province, including mission booklets, lists of sisters, minute books and files of the Provincial Superiors
SLE/C: Records from inditvidual houses and communities within England and Wales
SLE/D: Records relating to individual sisters. Many of these were originally boxed according to type of record (e.g. all photographs in one series) presumably when they were all moved to the central archive
SLE/E: Published works (SLE/E/1) and research notes (SLE/E/2)
SLE/F: Objects
SLE/G: Records from other provinces (SLE/G/1) and The Emmanuel Community and Damscus Road Association

Records from individual houses
SLE/C   1906-2018
5 metres   
Many of the records from individual houses were originally boxed according to type of record (e.g. all photographs in one series) presumably when they were moved to the archive at Shalom. There is consequently some overlap between files. Original order within files has been kept wherever possible, which has led to mixed files which have been catalogued more fully. Where records have been placed in a box but bear no relation to the content, however, they have been moved to make it easier for researchers, particularly with photographs.
SLE/B/5 also holds records of individual houses, particularly relating to building repairs and sale. SLE/B/6 contains records about individual houses which were presuambly sent to the archive and in files marked 'Provincial Archives', although these appear to have been used for notes for the writing of the official history.
