The Institute of the Foreign Missions Sisters was founded in France in the year 1931 by Rev. Fr. Louis Albert Nassoy (MEP) priest of the Society of the Foreign Missions Fathers of Paris, with the collaboration of Mother Marie Dolores de Fraser.
The Institute is spread in six countries: France, India, Hong Kong, Madagascar, Japan, and Argentina. Its presence is very modest and follows Jesus
command “Be like leaven in the dough.” Those days Sisters from France were sent to mission countries, but today Indian Sisters too are sent on mission to other countries.
Today, the Mother House Notre Dame de La Motte has become a place of meeting people. It is situated in country side with few halls and a big park; all conducive to animate groups of children for the catechism and other formative activities. Sisters participate in them.
Sisters are known as ME Sisters. They are in seven dioceses: Pondicherry, Chingleput, Chennai, Bangalore, Mysore, Nellore and Indore. In brief the most of the houses are in the villages.
