The Sacramentine Sisters together in the grounds of the abbey

Who we are

A house kept alive by prayer.

The abbey is cared for by the Suore Vittime Espiatrici di Gesù Sacramentato, often known as the Sacramentine Sisters. The congregation was founded in Naples in 1878 by Saint Maria Cristina Brando.

Their life centres on the Eucharist, community and service. Here in Assisi, the Sisters care for the house, welcome its guests and pray for everyone who enters.

“We are here to keep this place a house of prayer, welcome and quiet reflection.”

The city beyond the door

Walk in the footsteps of Francis and Clare.

From the abbey, Assisi unfolds on foot: medieval lanes, ancient churches and places shaped by lives of humility, peace and radical hospitality.
