Sisters of Finding Jesus in the Temple

From Catholicism Wiki

The Sisters of Finding Jesus in the Temple are a Catholic religious order popularly known as Blue nuns due to the colour of their habit. It was the name of a pre-Reformation Catholic order founded in London at the time of the crusades by an unknown dean. Their chief work is education.[1] They also support care for the elderly and Catholic missions abroad.[2]

A new order was founded in England in 1860 by Cardinal Wiseman and it subsequently spread to France. In England a center of their work was the Diocese of Clifton which they left in 2010.[3] As of 2019, they still operated as a registered charity in England and Wales.[4]
