The Angelic Sisters of Saint Paul (Latin: Sorores Angelicae Sancti Pauli) are a Roman Catholic religious order founded by Anthony Maria Zaccaria in Milan, Italy in 1535.[1][2]

The order is a female branch of the Barnabite Fathers. Their purpose was to be co-workers with the Barnabite Fathers (founded by the same founder) in bringing about a renewal of faith in a society that had become very worldly.
