Suore di Santa Marta

What Suore di Santa Marta does

Suore di Santa Marta (legal name: Congregazione delle Suore di Santa Marta) is a Catholic religious congregation founded in 1878 by Beato Tommaso Reggio and headquartered in Rome, Italy (Via Virginio Orsini, 15). The organization operates as a nonprofit religious entity rather than a commercial enterprise, with a stated charism of hospitality and joyful service rooted in the example of Saint Martha. Its core activities span three domains: education (schools, nurseries, and educational institutes), social services (a rehabilitation center in Viciomaggio), and spiritual formation (aspirancy, novitiate, and ongoing formation programs for women entering religious life).

The congregation's product portfolio consists of at least eleven directly operated institutions, including Istituto Santa Marta in Chiavari and Genova, Istituto Santa Gemma in Milano-Bovisa, Scuola e nido d'infanzia Santa Marta in Querceto di Sesto Fiorentino, Educandato Maria S.S. Bambina in Roggiano, Scuola Casa San Giuseppe in Rodengo-Saiano, Scuola dell'infanzia Casa Betania in Velletri, Istituto Santa Marta in Ventimiglia and Vighizzolo, and the Centro Riabilitativo Medaglia Miracolosa rehabilitation center in Viciomaggio. Geographic footprint extends across seven countries: Italy, Chile, Lebanon, Argentina, India, Brazil, and Mexico. The congregation maintains a vocational website (suoresantamartavocazioni.com), a Facebook vocations page, and a YouTube channel for outreach, but offers no proprietary technology products, software, or digital platforms beyond these standard communications tools.

Economically, Suore di Santa Marta operates as a religious nonprofit with no publicly disclosed revenue, pricing, or financial statements. Funding is structurally derived from tuition where applicable, donations, and in-kind support from Catholic communities and the broader order, rather than commercial contracts. Headcount data indicates a small administrative footprint of 16 listed employees, though the operational workforce includes religious sisters, teachers, and staff across all institutions. Leadership is exercised through an elected Consiglio Generalizio under Madre Generale Lilian Doll Cortés (sessennium 2021-2027), with governance cycles defined by periodic General Chapters. There are no funding rounds, equity investors, M&A transactions, or external ownership interests.
