Quick Summary

The Sisters of the Most Holy Savior of St. Bridget are a Roman Catholic congregation of contemplative nuns. This order is an offshoot of the ancient Bridgettine order, founded by St. Bridget of Sweden in 1344. The modern congregation was established in Rome in 1911 by Mother Elisabeth Hasselblad and received recognition from the Holy See in 1942. Their primary focus is on prayer life, with a specific aim towards the reunion of all Christians. The original Bridgettine order was known for its strict discipline and contributed significantly to the culture of Scandinavia and Germany.
