The Savinian Family was born from the intense spiritual and human life of Savina Petrilli. A young Sienese, from a family poor in means, but rich in human and Christian values. In love with Jesus by the example of Catherine of Siena, she chose to dedicate herself, above all, to the poor to help and love them without measure and without reward. Her love for the needy resulted in the foundation of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Poor of St. Catherine of Siena.
We are family and "We call ourselves Sisters and our brother is Jesus in the person of our poor, we live in the family spirit manifested in mutual charity " and our mission in the Church is to be a bearer of God to our brothers and sisters, to the most needy, whether they are materially poor, physically or even morally and spiritually, to promote and evangelize them.
We are present in Italy, Brazil, Argentina, India, the Philippines, Ecuador, and Germany giving assistance to children, young people, adults, and the elderly.
