The Congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours is an international Roman Catholic women's religious congregation for nursing (gardes malades), whose declared mission is to care for those who are sick and dying. It was founded by Josephine Potel in 1824, in Paris, France. While the Congregation's stated object is to care for patients from all socio-economic groups, in some territories they only operate for-profit private hospitals. Reflecting their name ("bon secours" means "good help" in French), the Congregation's motto is "Good Help to Those in Need."

  • The Congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours is an international Roman Catholic women's religious congregation for nursing (gardes malades), whose declared mission is to care for those who are sick and dying. It was founded by Josephine Potel in 1824, in Paris, France. While the Congregation's stated object is to care for patients from all socio-economic groups, in some territories they only operate for-profit private hospitals. Reflecting their name ("bon secours" means "good help" in French), the Congregation's motto is "Good Help to Those in Need." Initially active in France, the sisters tended the wounded during the Revolution of 1848 and the 1870 Franco-Prussian War, and the sick during the 1893 cholera epidemic in Boulogne-Sur-Mer. In 1832, at the request of the Archbishop of Boulogne, they took charge of an orphanage. Their work expanded to both other countries and other areas of service. The Congregation expanded to Ireland (1861), England (1870), the United States (1881), Scotland (1948), Chad (1957), Peru (1966), and Tanzania (2006). A separate system was formed in 1993 to coordinate the health care facilities managed by the sisters in Ireland. In 2019, Bon Secours Health System of Dublin merged with Bon Secours Mercy Health of Cincinnati, Ohio. "Together, the health systems have 60,000 employees serving more than 10.5 million people through nearly 50 hospitals, more than 50 home health agencies and senior health and housing facilities." While the Congregation's historic motherhouse remains in Paris, its international headquarters is in , United States. In 2014, it was reported that the bodies of up to 796 children under the care of the Congregation had been buried in a structure built within a decommissioned sewage tank at the Tuam "Children's Home", which the Sisters of Bon Secours ran in Tuam, Ireland. Excavations in 2017 found an "underground structure divided into 20 chambers", containing the remains of children up to three years old. Examination of the remains found that they dated from the late 1930s through to the 1950s. Data from the National Archives of Ireland from 1947 showed that the death rate of children in Bon Secours during the preceding twelve months was almost twice that of some other mother and baby homes.

  • De congregatie van de Zusters van Bon Secours (Engels: Congregation of Sisters of Bon Secours, CBS) is een internationale Rooms-Katholieke religieuze vrouwelijke kloosterorde die zich tot taak stelt zorg te dragen voor zieken en stervenden. De orde werd in 1824 opgericht door Josephine Potel, in Parijs. Hoewel het doel van de congregatie is om patiënten van alle sociaal-economische groepen te verzorgen, besturen ze in sommige gebieden alleen commerciële privé-ziekenhuizen. In lijn met de naam van de orde ("bon secours" betekent "goede bijstand" in het Frans) is het motto van de congregatie "hulp verlenen aan mensen in nood". De zusters waren aanvankelijk actief in Frankrijk, en verzorgden de gewonden tijdens de Revolutie van 1848 en de Frans-Duitse Oorlog in 1870, en de zieken tijdens de cholera-epidemie van 1893 in Boulogne-sur-Mer. In 1832 namen ze de leiding over een weeshuis, op verzoek van de aartsbisschop van Boulogne. Hun activiteiten breidden zich uit naar andere landen en andere sectoren. De orde vestigde zich in Ierland (1861), Engeland (1870), de Verenigde Staten (1881), Schotland (1948), Tsjaad (1957), Tanzania (2006) en Peru (2017). (nl)

dbp:text
  • The Commission’s report presents a history of our country in which many women and children were rejected, silenced and excluded; in which they were subjected to hardship; and in which their inherent human dignity was disrespected, in life and in death. Our Sisters of Bon Secours were part of this sorrowful history. Our Sisters ran St Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in Tuam from 1925 to 1961. We did not live up to our Christianity when running the Home. We failed to respect the inherent dignity of the women and children who came to the Home. We failed to offer them the compassion that they so badly needed. We were part of the system in which they suffered hardship, loneliness and terrible hurt. We acknowledge in particular that infants and children who died at the Home were buried in a disrespectful and unacceptable way. For all that, we are deeply sorry. We offer our profound apologies to all the women and children of St Mary’s Mother and Baby Home, to their families and to the people of this country. Healing is not possible until what happened is acknowledged. We hope and we pray that healing will come to all those affected; those who are living and those who have died. We hope that we, our church and our country can learn from this history. (en)
