Missionary Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo (Scalabrinians) - Province of Our Lady of Fatima

The missionary seed of the Scalabrinian Sisters was planted on U.S. soil in 1941. The pioneer Sisters who came from the Motherhouse in Brazil were Sisters Caetana Borsatto, Marina Paggi, Albertina Vezzaro and Laura Migliorini. The U.S. Novitiate was established in 1948, and in 1965, the new Bishop Scalabrini Novitiate and the Provincial House were officially opened in Melrose Park, Illinois. At present, the Province has 16 commmunities in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Philippines and India.
