Salvatorianerinnen

What Salvatorianerinnen does

Salvatorianerinnen (Sisters of the Divine Savior) is a Catholic apostolic-missionary religious congregation founded in 1888 in Tivoli, Italy, by Pater Franziskus Jordan and Maria von den Aposteln (Therese von Wüllenweber). The German Province, established in 1926, is registered as Schwestern Salvatorianerinnen e.V. and headquartered at the Provinzialat in Kerpen-Horrem, Germany. The order comprises approximately 1,250 sisters serving in 30 countries across five continents, alongside approximately 1,200 Salvatorian men and 1,300 Salvatorian Laity who together form the broader Salvatorianische Familie.

The congregation's service portfolio consists of three wholly-owned German operating institutions: Realschule Mater Salvatoris (a Catholic secondary school with daycare in Kerpen-Horrem), Krankenhaus Maria von den Aposteln (a hospital in Mönchengladbach-Neuwerk), and Seniorenzentrum Sankt Johannes (a senior care center in Warburg). Beyond institutional operations, the order delivers pastoral services, spiritual guidance, retreats, meditation content (Atem.Pause), therapeutic counseling, and social outreach to vulnerable populations including women, children, migrants, and trafficking victims.

The revenue model is charitable and donation-based, supported operationally by the affiliated Stiftung Salvator Mundi foundation. The go-to-market approach is community-led: spiritual community engagement, invitation-based vocations recruitment (Neu.Beginn), and event-driven outreach (Days of Silence, concerts, seasonal markets). No commercial pricing applies. The order is preparing a structural merger of its Austrian and German provinces, scheduled for July 2, 2027, to form a unified 'Salvatorianerinnen Deutschland-Österreich' entity headquartered in Vienna.
