Italian original Cite

POOR DAUGHTERS OF SAINT ANTHONY. - Religious institute, founded by Sister Miradio della Provvidenza di S. Gaetano (Giulia Bonifacio), a former Alcantarine nun, in Tufara di Valle Gaudina, archdiocese of Benevento, in 1901, with the cooperation and under the guidance of Fr. Luca de Longia, a Franciscan. In 1923 the generalate house was transferred to Barile, diocese of Rapolla, and in 1937 to Naples.

The sisters, numbering over 200, have 18 houses, all in southern Italy, and devote themselves to the Christian and civil instruction and education of youth. The Holy See issued the decree of praise and temporarily approved the Constitutions in 1941.
