Religious Communities of the Name of Jesus

(1) Knights of the Name of {ln:Jesus}, also known as Seraphim, founded in 1334 by the Queens of Norway and Sweeden to defend their respective countries from the onslaught of heathen hordes. They did not survive the Reformation.

(2) Sisters of the Name of {ln:Jesus} comprise six congregations founded in France during the nineteenth century in the Dioceses of Besan?on, with mother-house at Grande-Fontaine, Paris; of Valence (1815 or 1825), mother-house at Lorial; of Rodez, mother-house at Ste-Radegonde; of Toulouse (1827); and of Marseilles (1852). These sisters devote themselves chiefly to the work of teaching and caring for the sick.
