GIUSEPPINE DELLA S.MA TRINITÀ (Placencia). - They originated in 1886 through the work of the penitentiary of the cathedral of Placencia, R. Eladio Mozas Santamera, with the approval of the diocesan Ordinary. He first gathered in a house some women who lived in common, working in a holy manner. When their number grew they moved to another house, which today has become the generalate house of the Institute, and there on Feb. 18, 1886 they received the religious habit and the Institute began its juridical life.

The constitutions, of Augustinian inspiration, were approved by the Ordinary in 1886 and definitively in 1903. The Institute received in 1933 the decree of praise and the temporary approval of the constitutions, which were definitively approved on June 28, 1943.

In 1949 the sisters numbered 144, distributed among 20 houses. The sisters devote themselves to instruction and education in schools, colleges and nurseries, and to the care of the sick in hospitals, which they direct and in which they render service.
