The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Ann was founded in Turin in 1834, thanks to the vision and mission of Carlo Tancredi Falletti and Giulia Colbert, the Marquises of Barolo. United in deep faith and mutual love, they dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to God and to the service of the neighbour.
Carlo Tancredi and Giulia Colbert a married couple, united in faith and love, devoted their lives to God and the poor. They stooped down with humility and love to raise up the most afflicted.
To be “Instruments of Providence” for the little ones and the poor.
From its humble start in Piedmont, the Congregation grew across Italy and, under Mother Enrichetta Dominici, reached India in 1871.

We gratefully remember our beloved Founders Carlo Tancredi and Giulia Colbert, who founded our religious family for a noble cause on 10th December1834 in Italy. Inspired by their vision and the missionary zeal of Blessed Mother Enrichetta Dominici, the Congregation extended its mission to India in 1871.
There is a great turning taking place across our planetary home. This digital platform has been prayerfully and thoughtfully developed as a window into the life, mission and values of our Province. The website serves as an instrument of communication, connection, and evangelization. It provides insight into who we are, what we do, and how we journey together in sharing our charism. Whether you are a member of our Congregation, a collaborator in our mission, a young person discerning a religious vocation, or simply a visitor seeking to know more about us, we welcome you with open hearts.
In these times, where technology plays a crucial role in fostering communion and sharing the Good News, we see this initiative not merely as a tool but as a ministry in itself. We hope this platform reflects our commitment to the Gospel, and desire to be instruments of Providence to the little ones and the poor.
On behalf of all the Sisters of the Province and the Provincial Team, I extend a cordial welcome to one and all. May this website be a blessing to all who visit our site at
With prayerful best wishes,
