The Bridgettines, or Birgittines, formally known as the Order of the Most Holy Savior (Latin: Ordo Sanctissimi Salvatoris; abbreviated OSsS), is a monastic religious order of the Catholic Church founded by Saint Birgitta (Bridget of Sweden) in 1344 and approved by Pope Urban V in 1370.[1][2] They follow the Rule of Saint Augustine. There are today several different branches of Bridgettines.
