SONS OF MARY IMMACULATE. - Institute founded in Brescia in 1849 by the Ven. Lodovico Pavoni. In 1819 he had already opened an institute for apprentices to receive poor and needy youths free of charge, educating them in virtue and instructing them in the sciences and arts. To perpetuate this work he founded the religious Congregation of the F. di M. I., composed of priests (for the spiritual and material direction of the institutes) and of coadjutor brothers (devoted to the assistance and teaching of the arts and sciences to the young), all with the same rights and duties. The Congregation was approved in 1892.
The work spread, but in 1866 came its suppression by the Italian government. The survivors took refuge in the Trentino and from there began their expansion anew. Today the Congregation numbers 250 members. The general house is in Brescia, where the novitiate is also located. It has established houses in Milan, Monza, Pavia, Trento, Genoa, Rome. In 1941 it opened its first house in Brazil, where it currently has three. The pupils remain in the Institute until the age of 18, applying themselves to whichever technical branch they prefer. For the apostolate of the good press they have in Milan the publishing house «Ancora».
