She joined the newly formed order of the Congregation of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus which had been started by Mother Clelia Merloni in 1894.

[1] In 1908 she helped to extend the reach of the "Congregation of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus" when she was sent to America to assist new organisations which the church calls apostolates.

The nuns gained some protection from Bishop Giovanni Battista Scalabrini who had founded a mission to send missionaries to America.

Four years later the organisation was renamed the Zelatrices of the Sacred Heart of Jesus which was a sign of growing acceptance by the church.

Within Italy she created new headquarters in Rome in 1916 and a northern outpost near her birthplace at the region of Milan called Comasina.
