PICCOLE SERVE DEL SACRO CUORE DI GESÙ. – Founded in Turin in 1875 by Anna Michelotti of Annecy.

The specific purpose of the foundation is the free care of poor sick persons in their homes, always at the request of the parish priest or his representative. In 1950 the sisters numbered 288, distributed among 16 houses.
