Quick Summary

The Institute of Charity, also known as the Rosminians, is a religious organization within the Roman Catholic Church. Members of this congregation are called Rosminians. The organization was founded by Antonio Rosmini-Serbati.1

While not directly part of the Institute of Charity, St. Vincent de Paul was a significant figure in Catholic charitable work. He founded the Congregation of the Mission and established Confraternities of Charity, which were associations of laywomen dedicated to aiding the sick and poor. He also cofounded the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, a religious institute focused on active charitable works. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a separate Catholic charitable organization, was founded in 1833.2
