The Society of the Holy Child Jesus is an international community of Roman Catholic sisters founded in England in 1846 by Philadelphia-born Cornelia Connelly.

In 1862, six sisters from England came to the Society to the United States. In 1930, three sisters brought the Society to Nigeria, and in 1967 four sisters began the Society’s life in Chile.[6]
