Canossian Sisters at Richmond, B.C. are Sisters of the Congregation of Canossian Daughters of Charity, founded by St. Magdalen of Canossa in 1808 in Verona, Italy. St. Madalen is one of only a few foundresses who established communities for women and men as well as a lay apostolate. |
Born into a noble family in Verona in 1774 Magdalen, Marchioness of Canossa left the comforts of her luxurious home to serve the poor and marginalized in her hometown. She opened a home at an old monastery to house and teach women and children. Elsewhere, the Canossian Sisters work in Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America. |
