POPE LEO XIV & SERVITE PRIOR GENERAL FRA SERGIO ZILIANI OSM
The Order of Servite Friars
Our History
Before the Servites ever existed as an official religious Order, seven prosperous men came together in the city of Florence, Italy. As a reflection of the penitential spirit of the times, it had been the custom of these men to meet regularly as members of a religious society established in honour of Mary, the Mother of God. Eventually, the seven left their comfortable homes, put aside their finery and went to live together in a ramshackle building. This event is believed to have happened in 1233 which is regarded as the foundation date of the order.
Our Mission
Like our Seven Holy Founders, our mission is to go where the needs of Gods people demand, seeking the perfection of the Gospel way of life under the protection of Mary, the Mother and Servant of the Lord.
FRA SERGIO ZILIANI OSM - PRIOR GENERAL
The Servite Order, officially known as the Order of Servants of Mary is one of the five original mendicant orders in the Catholic Church. Started by the Seven Holy Founders in 1233, it includes several branches of friars (priests and brothers), contemplative nuns, a congregation of religious sisters, and lay groups
The Leadership of the Order of the Servants of Mary, also known as the Servite Order, is led by a General Chapter, which is the governing body of the order. The General Chapter is responsible for the overall direction and administration of the order, including the appointment of the prior General, his vice and his council. The other key leaders are the prior provincials and their councillors, responsible for their ordinary jurisdictions. The order's leadership is dedicated to the sanctification of its members, the preaching of the Gospel, and the propagation of devotion to the Mother of God, with a special focus on her sorrows. The order's leadership is also involved in the spiritual and practical outreach of the order, including the establishment of communities and promotion of Marian devotion worldwide.
