Brigidine Order

The Brigidine Order, officially known as the Brigidine Sisters, is a Roman Catholic religious congregation founded in Ireland in the 19th century. Named after St. Brigid of Kildare, the order focuses on education, social justice, and the spiritual development of individuals. The sisters take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, dedicating their lives to serving others, particularly in schools and community development projects. They have spread beyond Ireland, establishing missions and educational institutions in various countries, including Australia and the United States. The Brigidine Sisters aim to embody compassion, hospitality, and dedication to justice in their work.
