Summary/Abstract: The Congregation of the Sisters of St Catherine the Virgin and Martyr (Sisters of St Catherine) dates back to the second half of the 16th century. It was founded in 1571 in Braniewo (ger. Braunsberg), in Warmia (ger. Ermland), as a result of changes taking place in the Church after the Council of Trent. Its founder was Blessed Regina Protmann (†1613), who combined contemplation with apostolic activity in the newly established community of sisters. The first Rule of the congregation was drafted with the support of the Jesuits, who had been active in Braniewo since 1565, with the approval of the then Warmian bishops (Marcin Kromer, Piotr Tylicki). In the following centuries, and especially in the 20th century, these principles of community life were modified, mainly due to the thought of the Second Vatican Council.
