Founded at Monroe, Michigan in 1845, by Father Louis Gilet, C.SS.R., for the work of teaching. They were given a Rule founded on that of Saint Alphonsus, prepared by Father Gilet. The order manages schools, a college, an academy, and an orphanage for girls, all in the states of Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio. The mother-house is at Monroe.
