Bon Secours Sisters
The Congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours is a Roman Catholic religious congregation for nursing (''gardes malades''), whose stated object is to care for patients from all socio-economic groups. Reflecting their name (''"bon secours"'' means "good help" in French), the congregation's motto is "Good Help to Those in Need." In 2014, the news media ran a series of articles about the group over the issue of an early 20th century Irish maternity home in Tuam, Ireland, which was alleged to have been characterized by a high death rate from childhood diseases and malnutrition, and some of the children may have been buried in a vault or tank on the site.
==History==
The congregation was begun by Archbishop de Quélen of Paris in 1822, and was formally approved by Pope Pius IX in 1875. While its patients were expected to pay as much as they could afford, the congregation provided nursing free of charge to the poor. According to their founding constitution, "After the personal sanctification of its members, the principal aim of this pious society is the care of the sick in their own homes". Its nuns traditionally wear a black habit and a white cap with a frilled border and black veil.
By 1913, there were sixteen houses of the congregation in France, four in Ireland, one in England, two in the United States, and one in Belgium.
Founded with governmental approval during the monarchic and Catholic Bourbon Restoration period, the congregation became a target of anti-clerical governments〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Institutes of Bon Secours )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Sacred Heart Review 11 February 1893 — Boston College )〕 during the early 20th century.
