Also known as:
Italian: Congregazione dei Preti delle Stimmate di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo
PRETI DELLE STIMMATE DI N. S. GESÙ CRISTO - Missionary Institute - G. Bertone - of Ribeirao Prato (S. Paolo)-Brazil.
PRIESTS OF THE STIGMATA OF N. S. JESUS CHRIST. - They began in Verona on 4 Nov. 1816 as a private union of secular priests for the free operation of a charity school that grew into a gymnasium, and for every kind of ecclesiastical ministry ad nutum episcopi: but for the founder, the venerable G. Bertone, and for his first companions it was a religious congregation aiming at a free apostolate of apostolic missionaries.
It received the decree of praise on 16 Apr. 1855, and the approval of the Institute and of the Constitutions on 15 Sept. 1890 and on 23 June 1925. Its special purpose is the ecclesiastical ministry and the Christian and civic education of youth. Thanks to a recent revival it can today count about 500 effective members, while about as many are being formed in the apostolic schools of its 3 provinces: Italian, North American, and Brazilian. In 1926 it took on the Chinese mission of Vilsien, now an apostolic prefecture. Besides the ministry of preaching, it has parishes, schools of various kinds, including state-recognized ones, colleges, boarding houses and other works on behalf of youth: all distributed among about 50 houses. The Italian province has the beginnings of a foundation in France; the North American one has a minor seminary and a High School in the apostolic vicariate of the island of Guam in the Pacific, while the Brazilian one likewise has some aspect of missionary activity of its own.
