The monastery was founded in 1963 by the Benedictine nuns of Valognes (France), at the request of Cardinal Zoungrana. It is situated about thirty kilometres from the capital, Ouagadougou, in a predominantly Muslim area. The community comprises around thirty nuns.

Agricultural activities, a yoghurt factory, and spirulina production since 2010.
