Brigidine Sisters
The Brigidine Sisters (also known as the Brigidine Order, or simply the Brigidines) are a global Roman Catholic congregation, founded by Bishop Daniel Delany in Ireland in 1807. The mission of the Brigidines is the education and evangelisation of youth. An earlier congregation linked to Saint Brigid had been founded in the fifth century AD, and had lasted until the Reformation.
The Brigidine motto is Fortiter et Suaviter, which is Latin for "Strength and Gentleness".
