Biographical History
The Clerks Regular of Somaschi are an order of clerks regular in solemn vows who follow the rule of St. Augustine. They were founded in 1532 by St. Jerome Emiliani at Somasca in northern Italy to work among the poor and afflicted and to care for orphans. The founder, who remained a layman, died in Somasca in 1537. In the beginning the order was called the Society of Servants of the Poor and its membership included both clerics and laymen. In 1540 Paul III approved the society; in 1547 Paul IV united it with the Theatines but the union lasted only until 1555. An attempt was made also to unite it with the Jesuits but without success. On December 6, 1568, Pius V promoted the society to a religious order; gave it its present title; and extended its activities to work in seminaries, colleges, academies, and parishes.
