Sisters of the Poor Memorial Statue

Sisters of the Poor Memorial Statue

The "Sisters of the Poor" is a religious group in the history of Italian Catholicism with the core of "serving the poor". It was mainly active in northern Italy (especially the Lombardy region) from the 19th century to the early 20th century. The "poverelle" (plural) in its name means "poor women", which reflects the original mission of the Order-to help poor women and families through religious care and practical actions. It is the concrete practice of the Catholic "benevolence spirit" in the local society.
