Sisters Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus Christ Sovereign Priest

The society was founded in January 2001 as the female branch of the Institute of Christ the King, a traditionalist Catholic priestly institute celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass. Cardinal Ennio Antonelli, at that time the Archbishop of Florence, bestowed the religious habit upon the first three sisters in June 2004. ==Presence==

The community's mother house is situated in Gricigliano, part of the Metropolitan City of Florence, Italy, which is also the location of the seminary of the Institute of Christ the King, who serve the community offering Mass and other sacraments. Since the Sisters first moved into the building they have undertaken extensive works of renovation. ==Spirituality==

The way of life of the Sisters is that of a non-cloistered contemplative. They have as the community's three patron saints St. Francis de Sales, St. Benedict and St. Thomas Aquinas. The community participates in Mass and the Divine Office using the Traditional Latin Rite. Their daily schedule includes classes on Gregorian chant, Latin, philosophy and theology. They are also involved in manual labor such as sewing, lace-making or caring for liturgical vestments. ==Notes==
