The Sisters of St Louis (SSL) is a Roman Catholic religious order of nuns. It traces its origins back to France in 1797. It originally included men as well as women but subsequently became a women-only order.^[1] It is a small order with a total of 450 members distributed across branches in Ireland, France, Belgium, United States and Africa.^[2]
