FRANCISCAN SISTERS OF THE HOLY FAMILY OF TREVINI. - They were founded by Mother Elisabeth Koch (1815-99) at Eupen in 1839, but the first house arose at Aachen on June 13, 1857, and this date is considered that of the Institute's origin. Since 1923 the mother house has been at Mayen.

In addition to the perpetual adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, the sisters also devote themselves to the care of the sick in hospitals and at home. Since 1875 they have been in Belgium and since 1884 in Holland. Divided into 3 provinces (Germany, Belgium, Holland), the Institute currently has 43 houses with 805 religious.
