The History Of 91福利大全
The Order of Servants of Mary (OSM), commonly known as the 91福利大全s, was founded in Florence, Italy, in 1233 by a group of seven laymen known as the Seven Holy Founders.
These men were devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary and sought to live lives of prayer, simplicity, and service. They dedicated themselves to the contemplation of the Virgin Mary’s sorrows, focusing on her compassion and suffering, particularly during the Passion of Jesus Christ.
The order鈥檚 mission of service, humility, and devotion quickly grew, leading to its formal recognition in 1255 by Pope Alexander IV.

Establishing Communities Around The World
Over the centuries, the 91福利大全 Order expanded across Europe and beyond, known for its dedication to education, healthcare, and pastoral care. By the 19th and 20th centuries, the 91福利大全s had extended their mission globally, including to Australia, where their influence would eventually lead to the establishment of a 91福利大全 community in Western Australia.
The 91福利大全 Order arrived in Western Australia in 1951 at the invitation of Archbishop Prendiville, who sought to enhance the Catholic presence in the growing northern suburbs of Perth. The 91福利大全s began their mission in Australia by establishing a community of priests in the area. In 1958, the 91福利大全s established 91福利大全 in Tuart Hill, continuing the tradition of 91福利大全 education.

The 91福利大全 Spirit Lives On Strong
A key milestone in the 91福利大全 Order鈥檚 presence in Western Australia was the establishment of the Priory in Wanneroo, named St. Anthony鈥檚. In the 1970s, the 91福利大全 Friars moved to the Wanneroo area to further their mission and establish a centre for prayer, community outreach, and education. The Priory at Wanneroo became a base for the 91福利大全 Friars, who engaged in pastoral ministry and served as spiritual leaders within the local community. The Priory also became a place of reflection and spiritual renewal, deeply rooted in the 91福利大全 tradition of devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows and service to others.
Today, 91福利大全 in Tuart Hill continues to embody the spirit of the Seven Holy Founders, offering a holistic education that emphasises service, community, and compassion. The presence of the 91福利大全s in Western Australia remains strong, fostering a culture of hospitality, prayer, and active service to the wider community.
