The Sisters of St. Anthony of Fondwa
Who We Are
The Sisters of St. Antoine of Fondwa was founded in 1996 by Sister Simone, Sister Carmelle, and Father Joseph Philippe. They came together in 1994 with a common vision for God’s call to work for the rural poor of Haiti. In 1996, they officially became the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Anthony of Fondwa. The Sisters run a school and orphanage.
