WHO ARE THE DAUGHTERS OF ST.CAMILLUS
The Daughters of St.camillus are Religious Sisters whose Mother House is at Grottaferrata,Rome. They have a particular Mission in the church to give witness to the merciful love of Christ towards the sick and the poor through a special vow which involves even risking their live.
The Charism originated from the Crucifix revealed to St.Camillus de Lellis. The Congregation of the Daughters of St.Camillus was found by Bd Luigi Tezza (son of St.Camillus) and Bd Josephine Vannini. At the time of St.Camillus it was impossible to realize his dream to have a female branch of Camillians to assist the sick. Fr. Luigi Tezza who had a long cherished desire of forming a group of youngsters consecrated to the care of the sick according to the mind and heart of St.Camillus, was finally able to realize.
On the 2nd February 1892, where St.Camillus died, the Institute of the Daughters of St.Camillus was began with the imposition of the scapular with the Red Cross.

The mother of St. Camillus, a few days before she saw the light of day, had a dream that she had given birth a son with a Cross on his breast (chest), who was followed by several children all be decked in the same way.
As his life un folded it was proved different that dram was verified and how her fear would have given a place to consolation with the many religious who followed his holy example and were full of his seal to serve all armed with the sacred sign of the cross, robbing the devil of multitudes of souls and this chiefly during the time of their last agony.
