We have 6,215 Sisters working in 485 communities in 22 countries in Europe. 

The first foundation of the Institute, still in Italy, was at Borgo San Martino (Alessandria) on October 8th 1874. It was the first link of a long chain. Apart from its expansion in Italy, the Institute crossed the borders into the rest of Europe in 1877, beginning with a community at Nice in France. The FMA Sisters have since expanded to 22 countries.
