St. Francis of Sales cofounded the Visitandine religious order with St. Jane Frances de Chantal in 1610. Commonly known as the Visitation sisters, the order was originally dedicated to performing charity work in homes and hospitals but later became a cloistered order. The Visitation nuns also became devoted to education and teaching as part of their mission.
