ANGÉLIQUE DE SAINT PAUL. - A female religious institute, founded in Milan by St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria and by the Countess Ludovica Torelli of Guastalla, to assist the Barnabites in religious action among the people. Approved by Paul III on 15 January 1535, and reorganized after the discords stirred up by the rebellious Antonia Negri, in 1552 it accepted enclosure in accordance with the prescriptions of the Council of Trent. St. Charles availed himself of it for the reform of monasteries. Suppressed in 1810, it was reborn through the work of Fr. Mauri in 1879. Benedict XV dispensed it from enclosure, authorizing it to devote itself to works of education and preservation. It has 20 houses in Italy, Belgium and France, with over 200 religious.
