Quick Summary

The Mantellate Sisters are a Roman Catholic religious order founded in 1861 in Treppio, Italy, by Filomena Rossi and Giovanna Ferrari. They are associated with the Servites, a mendicant order of friars founded in Florence in 1233. The Mantellate Sisters are part of the broader Servite family and are engaged in various active works. The Servites themselves focus on preaching, administering parishes, giving missions, and fostering devotion to Mary, particularly Our Lady of Sorrows.12
