DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE
The Company's Dimesse extends soon, according to the social reality of the time, throughout the territory of the Republic of Venice, bringing a breath of new spiritual life, by a witness that exceeds the limits of local history. The foundations are made all after the death of the Founder, but he had already shown the way to the first Dimesse women as mother Deianira and Angela Valmarana, Catherine Fiorini, Diana Crivelli .... They followed during the seventeenth century foundations in Verona, Thiene and Schio(We), Bergamo, Feltre (with), Padua and Udine .... All communities were united by a bond of spiritual, but with their legal autonomy. The early nineteenth century the Society of Dimesse undergoes the Napoleonic suppression of almost all communities except for Padova homes and Udine who present with a face "secular" dedicated to education, allowing them to continue the educational work in these two cities. The seed planted four centuries earlier by his father Pagani, burgeoning with new energy as Dimesse welcomed the wind of the Spirit of Vatican II that leads to a new missionary outreach of the Church and the Institutes of Consecrated Life. In 1965 start the first missionary to Kenya, in 1976 sending sisters in Brazil and 1984 in India.
