Chad

Arrival: 1962

Origins

Mother Antoine de Padoue, then Provincial Superior of Besançon, at the appeal of Pope Pius XII, who urged us to open new missions, said: ” if they ask sisters for Africa, the community will respond.Bishop Henri Veniat, Bishop of Sarh – Chad, on leave at the Jesuit house exactly opposite the Provincial house of Besançon, although discouraged by his confreres, asked the Sisters of Charity to open a community in his diocese. Almost unexpectedly he received a favorable response. Mother Antoine de Padoue, mindful of her promise made at the Pope’s appeal, responded positively.

The sisters of charity arrived in  Kyabé, Chad in 1962. Kyabé was an isolated village and  Mgr Veniat asked the sisters of charity to provide schooling for girls and female promotion in general.
