The Canossian Daughters of Charity, Servants of the Poor is an
international missionary congregation of women founded by St. Magdalene of Canossa, a woman of noble birth who ardently desired to live in service among her “beloved poor.” Magdalene was declared a SAINT by Pope John Paul II, on> October 2nd 1988.
In 1808, Magdalen gathered several companions to assist her in
meeting the needs of the neglected in Verona, Italy. Since then, women and men inspired by her to serve as sisters, priests, brothers, lay missionaries, and volunteers have witnessed to the Greatest Love all over the world.
