Our foundress Mother Victoria Giorni was born in 1793 in Geneva Italy. Having lost her mother in the childhood itself, she was brought up by her father Nicolo Giorni in true faith. As she had special devotion to Mother Mary, she pleaded her intercession in each and every trouble. Though born in a rich family she was compassionate and merciful to the poor, the sick and the marginalized. At that time Italy was in an economi crisis, due to constant wars. Seeing the misery around her, she started taking care of orphan girls. Many young girls were attracted towards and joined her in this noble ministry of caring and educati them. It has been beyond belief that once mother mary appeared to her when she was ill and healed her. It motivated her towards a religious life.
The socio political situation in Italy during that time was quite uncertain and the state of economy was unstable. So the congregation concentrated on helping the needy, feeding the poor and educating the abandoned girls.
In the beginning the congregation was a semi cloistered religious order, consisted of only four members. It flourished in prayer and service and the number of members increased. It became a religious institute in 1984. Today our congregation renders its service in many countries.
