For more than three hundred years, the mission of the Religious Teachers Filippini has been to evangelize children and adults, through the ministry of Christian education and formation. Saint Lucy Filippini, foundress of this Institute, desired to be in every part of the world to proclaim God's love to all peoples. Present in six continents throughout the world, we see Saint Lucy's dream fulfilled.

In 1910, at the invitation of Pope Pius X, five Sisters were sent to the United States to minister to immigrants in Trenton, New Jersey. Since then, young women have joined them to imitate Saint Lucy's way of life. The Sisters have labored enthusiastically and steadily to pro¬mote the spirit and mission of Saint Lucy, touching the lives of thousands of children through education in faith and learning.

As we focus on caring for our ill and retired Sisters, we also look to our future and ask you to join us in prayer to the Lord of the Harvest for vocations to the Religious Teachers Filippini.
