Some Relevent Facts Concerning
The Early History Of The Towers
At the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century anti-clerical laws in France brought about the closure of many convents. There were so many Sisters converging on the Mother house at that time, that it was difficult to house them all. Most of our Paris houses eventually closed. Sister St.Mery from our school at Montrouge, Paris, came to found The Towers. Much of the correspondance concerning these early years is extant and has been translated for your interest. It shows that for many years, things were far from easy for our first Sisters at The Towers.

At the same time as The Towers was being founded, some of our Sisters were sailing many thousands of miles across the ocean to make foundations in Brazil. Sister Mary Agnes was Sister Mary Agnes Maling Wynch, who eventually purchased The Towers and gave it to the congregation.
The above show the first Sisters at The Towers. Sister St.Mery (Superior) who after a few years in England volunteered to join foundations in Brazil. The others were Sister Fanelie, Sister St.Wilfred, Sister St. Marcelle, Sister Marguerite de Jesus, Sister Radegonde, Sister St.Sylvain and Sister M.Michael.
