==Affiliated bodies== ===Second Order=== {{More citations needed section|date=June 2021}} [[File:Chiesa di Sant'Alessandro Vergine Ordine dei Servi Giuseppe Tortelli Brescia.jpg|thumb|The Virgin Mary and the Seven Founders of the Servite Order by [[Giuseppe Tortelli]] in [[Sant'Alessandro, Brescia|Sant'Alessandro in Brescia]].]] Connected with the first order of men are the [[cloistered]] nuns of the [[Second Order (religious)|second order]], which originated with converts of [[Philip Benizi]]. These nuns currently have convents in Spain, Italy, England, the Tyrol, and Germany. ===Mantellate Sisters=== The Mantellate Sisters are a [[third order]] of religious women founded by [[Juliana Falconieri]], to whom Benizi gave the habit in 1284. From Italy it spread into other countries of Europe. Anna Juliana, Archduchess of Austria, founded several houses and became a Mantellate herself.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.heiligen.net/heiligen/08/03/08-03-1621-anna.php|work=Heiligen.net|title=Anna Juliana|language=nl}}</ref> In 1844 the congregation was introduced into France, and from there extended into England in 1850. The sisters were the first to wear the religious habit publicly in that country after the [[Protestant Reformation]] and were active missionaries under [[Frederick William Faber]] and the Oratorians for many years. This branch occupies itself with active works. They devote themselves principally to the education of youth, managing academies and taking charge of parochial schools. They also undertake works of mercy, such as the care of orphans, visiting the sick, and instructing converts.<ref name=servants/> Organized into a number of religious congregations, some of pontifical and some of diocesan right, they have houses in Italy, France, Spain, England, and [[Canada]]. In the United States they are to be found in the dioceses of [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Sioux City|Sioux City]], [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha|Omaha]], [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte| Charlotte NC]], and [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago |Chicago]]. The Congregation first arrived in Africa in 1922.<ref>[https://www.aciafrica.org/news/5308/education-healthcare-our-biggest-achievements-nun-in-eswatini-ahead-of-centenary-fete Pires, Sheila. "Education, Healthcare 'our biggest achievements'", ACI Africa, 20 February, 2022]</ref> ===Servite Secular Order=== The Secular Order of the Servants of Mary (Servite Secular Order) is an approved Catholic organization of lay men and women plus diocesan priests living their Christian faith in the context of the world. They strive toward holiness according to the spirituality of the Servite Order, following the directives of their Rule of Life. Secular Servites are asked to do the following each day: live the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love; pray and try to read Sacred Scripture each day, and/or the Liturgy of the Hours; and practice acts of reverence for the Mother of God daily, especially by praying the Servite prayer "The Vigil of Our Lady" and/or the Servite Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary. There is also a confraternity of the Seven Dolours, branches of which may be erected in any church.
