It was Mons. De Waal - Chancellor of National Religious Charity at the "Saint Teutonic Field" - to call Rome, in 1887, the Nuns of S. Elisabeth; he had called, because they should take care of the German, young people, who finding themselves, often without means, in a great foreign city, could have met dangers of every kind. The Congregation sent to Rome the first three Nuns for such activity. In accepting this apostolate, new for them, the Nuns continued to put into effect theirs charisma: to help where more the aid is necessary.

Once in Rome, according to their vocation and as an example for Saint Elisabeth, the Nuns donated time and forces in order to bring relief to who was in need. As time passed, it was necessary to take over more and greater tasks. In fact, to the attendance of the young people they also gave accommodation to pilgrims and hosts. Hospitals were built, in various cities of Italy. Currently the Nuns are engaged in the various fields of apostolate. The requirements are always infinite, but we hope that with aid of the Lord, this beautiful work can last still over a long time span.
