Soeurs de Notre-Dame du Fief

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Soeurs de Notre-Dame du Fief form a Roman Catholic religious order that belongs to the Zwartste family.

The founding monastery is located in France and was founded in 1493 by the Zwartste family, the mother house of Ieper . In 1607 they received new statutes from the Bishop of Ieper. In May 1815, two sisters were dispatched to resuscitate the Zwartsters Veurne . In 1998 the congregation, whose mother house burned down several times, still had around 40 sisters.
