Sisters Adorers of The Royal Heart of Jesus
The Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus Christ Sovereign Priest are a women's community (founded in 2004) associated with the Institute. They are also based in Gricigliano. The sisters are non-cloistered contemplatives, and their way of life is based on the Benedictine tradition. The community celebrates Mass and the Divine Office using the Traditional Latin Rite prior to the liturgical reforms introduced by Vatican II. When the number of sisters has increased sufficiently, the community plans to locate convents near the Institute's churches, where the sisters will perform apostolic work such as teaching. As of July 2007, the sisters numbered nearly twenty.
