Une communauté religieuse a été fondée par une paroissienne de Dommartin-sous-Amance, Marie-Antoinette Potier et le curé Jean-joseph Begel. Elle est très présente aux États-Unis : 

In the village of Dommartin-sous-Amance, France, Marie-Antoinette Potier wanted to give her life to God, and saw in service to the poor children of her village an opportunity to share her love of God with them.

In 1854, she opened her home as a school, a workroom and an orphanage, and with Father John Joseph Begel, her parish priest, she set about revitalizing Christian life through the care and education of girls. Marie-Antoinette and Father Begel believed that "to educate a woman is to educate a family." In addition to religious instruction, the women were trained in lace-making which provided some economic independence.
