We, the sisters of St. Ann of Providence (SAP), are committed to carry forward in time and space the Charism transmitted to us by our Founders Marquis Carlo Tancredi and Marchioness Giulia of Barolo: “To stoop over human misery in order to eradicate the root of all adversity through our Educative Mission”. (C 6)
“Whatever may be one’s opinion regarding the much debated question of whether the character and behaviour of man are influenced more by nature or by his education, there is no doubt that the tenor of the entire life depends, in most cases, on the first impressions, whether physical or moral, received during childhood” (CARLO TANCREDI, On Education of Early Childhood among the poor class, 1838, p. 81, in Called to Happiness)
“What a great fortune it seemed to us to lead back to God a soul that is far away from Him. It is only in the power of His name, with the help of his grace that to us is given to work such a sign. But weak as we are, God does not prohibit to raise to that hope, and to attempt in His name such a sublime work of mercy”.(GIULIA COLBERT OF BAROLO, With the eyes of the heart, 1887, p. 31)
