Marie Francoise Perroton and the ten pioneers responded to the call of God and “a gracious choice of Mary” to set out to serve the mission of her Son. Other women from France joined them in Wallis, Futuna, New Caledonia, and Samoa. From the 1860’s they had a small community in Sydney, Australia, site of the Marist missions administration. Our congregation has been international from its origins, as the pioneers welcomed young women from Oceania to join them in becoming religious sisters.
The vocation of our first sisters was clarified through their faithful living in response to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of the Marist priests with whom they worked in mission.
