The Mariannhillers,[2][3][4] officially named the Congregation of the Missionaries of Mariannhill (Latin: Congregatio Missionariorum de Mariannhill; abbreviated CMM)[5] are a religious institute of the Catholic Church founded by Franz Pfanner. They were originally a monastery of Trappist monks founded in 1882 by Pfanner, but were later branched off as a separate congregation by decree of the Holy See.
The name of the congregation comes from Mariannhill, a suburb near Pinetown in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, where the congregation was first established.
