The Sisters of the Holy Face (Sororum a Sancto Vultu) (also known as the "Institute of Sisters of the Holy Countenance") is a Roman Catholic religious organization for women. The order was founded in San Fior in Treviso Italy in 1930 by Blessed Maria Pia Mastena (1881-1951). The members of the order use the abbreviation SSV after their names. Mastena joined the Sisters of Mercy of Verona and obtained her teaching license, but after World War I left to become a cloistered Cistercian nun. Shortly after, on advise of her spiritual director, she left the convent and resumed teaching. She opened a nursery school and soup kitchen. In 1930 she organized a small group called Pious Rescue which was aimed at assisting poor children and teaching them a trade. She was soon joined by other young women. More information...
