| The sisters of the Blessed Sacrement of Valence (France) are implanted in Italy |
|
The journey to Rome undertaken by the Superior General, Mother St. Joseph Bouvaret in 1869 was primarily to obtain the approbation of the Institute as quickly as possible. However, Pope Pius IX recognising her extraordinary missionary zeal and vitality helped to facilitate the immediate establishment of the first foundation in Italy, at Subiaco, in a house that was at one time the holiday home of Pope Pius IX and of Pope Pius VI who died in Valence in 1799!
The first house in Rome was opened in 1878. In 1881 the regional house was established in Via dei Riari, not far from the Vatican. Other foundations followed, some in Rome and others as far away as Calabria and Sardinia, including Bolsena the site of the Eucharistic miracle, or the countryside of Gubbio, homeland of Francis of Assisi
Today, the seven Italian communities take great pride in continuing to cultivate the spiritual heritage of Peter Vigne in primary schools (in Lanuvio, Carpineto, Frascati), a college (in Frascati), retirement homes (in Carpineto) a place of welcome at the shrine (in Bolsena) and in outreach ministries in the working-class districts of Rome (Mater Ecclesia).
