DAUGHTERS OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI (Strigonis). - The Institute had its beginnings in 1894 through the work of Anna Mutter, who, with some companions, had gone from Switzerland to Budapest to care for the sick in their homes.

Although they wore a religious habit and were well regarded by the ecclesiastical authority, only in 1904, when their number had increased considerably, did the archbishop of Strigonis canonically erect the Institute and give them a text of constitutions drawn up by the Jesuit Father Ludovico Tomcsanyi. The decree of praise was granted on 18 January 1935, and with the same date the constitutions were temporarily approved.

The Institute has a single class of religious who care for the sick both in hospitals and in their homes under the patronage of St. Francis of Assisi. In 1947 the Institute had 32 houses, with 472 professed sisters.
