ROGATIONISTS - Sanctuary and Institute of St. Anthony - Messina, Mother house of the R.
ROGATIONISTS. - Religious congregation of priests founded in Messina, alongside that of the "Daughters of the Divine Zeal" (v.), by Canon Annibale M. Di Francia (v.), assisted by Fr. F. Vitale, and approved by the Archbishop of Messina on 6 Aug. 1926. Today it has about 200 members and some twenty houses in Italy and abroad.
The R. spread among the faithful the "Pious Union of the Evangelical Rogation" (erected 8 Dec. 1900) with its monthly periodical Rogate ergo, published in Trani from Jan. 1938, and among ecclesiastics the Sacra alleanza (instituted 22 Nov. 1897); they assist and educate orphaned children and support, especially through the devotion of the "Bread of St. Anthony" (v. ANTONIO di PADOVA), thousands of children in modernly equipped institutes: for example, the Antonian orphanages for boys, the Children's Villages (that of Bari is the first of its kind under the Latin regime), the institutes for the deaf and mute and for the blind.
The R. moreover publish various other periodicals of sacred propaganda, for example: Dio e il Prossimo (which has at times reached 700,000 copies), l'Araldo di s. Antonio (150,000 copies), il Villaggio del fanciullo, La voce dell'orfano. Lampejos.
