Servites

The Servites are a religious group within the Catholic Church, founded in 1233 in Florence, Italy. They are dedicated to serving others through prayer, community, and acts of charity, with a special devotion to the Virgin Mary. Their goal is to live out Christian values by helping those in need, promoting faith, and fostering spiritual growth. Members, known as Servite friars and sisters, often work in healthcare, education, and social services, aiming to make a positive impact on society while deepening their own spiritual lives.
