About Sisters of Providence

Who are the congregation of Sisters Of Providence?

The congregation of the Sisters of Providence of St Cajetan of Thiene was founded by St Luigi Scrosoppi born in 1804 and died in 1884, was beatified and canonized by Pope John Paul II.

Dedicated to a consecrated life and the fulfillment of our mission, following the example of our Founder, we distinguish ourselves by an evangelical spirit of unlimited trust in divine Providence like that of a weaned child in its mother’s arms.  For this reason, our primary commitment should be seeking first of all the reign of God and its justice, certain that all other things will be given us besides, we should be concerned to walk in the presence of the Lord, seeking to please him alone and serving him with love in the brothers and sisters entrusted to our apostolic mission.

About Father Luigi Scrosoppi

Luigi Scrosoppi was born on 4 August 1804 in Udine, a city of Friuli, in north-east Italy. He grew up in a family environment full of faith and Christian charity. At the age of twelve he began preparing for the priesthood, joining the diocesan seminary in Udine and was ordained a priest in 1827, flanked by his both priest brothers, Carlo and Giovanni Battista.

The extremely poor background of Friuli in 1800, devastated by famine, wars and epidemics was like an appeal for Padre Luigi to take care of the weak. He devoted himself, with other priests and a group of young teachers, to providing hospitality and education to the "destitute", the lonely and the abandoned girls of Udine and its surrounding places. He made available to them his wealth, his energy, his affection; he did not set aside anything for himself, and when the need became more pressing, he went begging. He trusted in the help of the people and above all in the Lord. In fact, his life is a tangible sign of great trust in the divine Providence.
