After the [[Second Vatican Council]], the order renewed its Constitutions starting with its 1968 general chapter at [[Majadahonda]], [[Madrid]], a process which was concluded in 1987. In the same year, Prior General Michael M. Sincerny oversaw the creation of the International Union of the Servite Family (UNIFAS).<ref name="osmhistory1888" /> The twentieth century also saw the beatification (1952) and the canonization of Friar [[Antonio Maria Pucci]]; the canonization of [[Clelia Barbieri]] (d. 1870), foundress of the Minime dell’Addolorata; the beatification in 1999 of [[Ferdinando Maria Baccilieri]] of the Servite Secular Order; the beatification in 2001 of [[Maria Guadalupe Ricart Olmos]], a Spanish cloistered nun who was martyred during the [[Spanish Civil War]]; and the beatification of Cecelia Eusepi of the Servite Secular Order. Through the centuries, the Servite Order has spread throughout the world, including all of Europe, parts of Africa, Australia, the Americas, India, and the Philippines. The general headquarters of the Servite Order is in Rome, while many provinces and motherhouses represent the order throughout the world.
