In
1847 Geneviève Dupuis, a Sister of St. Paul of Chartres, set sail from
France for England and set up a little school in Banbury.
Thus begins the story and the foundation of the Sisters of Charity of St. Paul the Apostle.
Accompanying Geneviève Dupuis was Sister Marie Joseph Sapiens. This journey to England had been planned by Fr. Tandy who been appointed parish priest in Banbury that same year.
