Members of the Congregation

Sisters of St. Lucy Filippini

The Sisters of St. Lucy Filippini were called to Ethiopia by Bishop Hailemariam Kahsay of Adigrat in 1969.  They dedicate themselves especially to the education of youth which is the Charism of the Institute.

The community had its origins in Montefiascone, Viterbo, Italy in 1692 and spread itself in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa.

In East Africa the sisters are engaged not only in formal education in elementary schools but also in various apostolic activities to meet the many needs of the people.

Currently the communities are all involved in the following pastoral activities: Catechetical work, Youth ministry, Literacy programmes, Parish activities, House of prayer and Home visiting.
