LA PROVIDENCE DE LA POMMERAYE
Née de la disponibilité de Marie Moreau à l'Esprit et a ses frères, la
Congrégation se voit invitée, dès 1816, par l'Évêque d'Angers à s'engager sur le
sentier du Carmel.
Sur cette lancée, elle continue aujourd'hui a se reconnaitre dans l'expérience vécue
a l'Horeb ou, Elie, I'homme du désert et de la rencontre de Dieu, est saisi par Lui et
brulé du désir de le faire connaitre et aimer. Le choix des taches dans lesquelles nous
nous engageons est orienté par l'appel a rendre témoignage du Dieu vivant et a éveiller
le sens de Dieu.
Agrégée à l'Ordre le 8 novembre 1956, la Congrégation est de droit diocésain. Elle
compte 552 religieuses et 102 maisons, réparties en 8 pays, divisée en 3 régions.
