	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Bridget of Sweden
		Bridget now devoted herself entirely to practices of religion and asceticism, and to religious undertakings.
		Bridget now founded a new religious congregation, the Brigittines, or Order of St. Saviour, whose chief monastery, at Vadstena, was richly endowed by King Magnus and his queen (1346).
		To obtain confirmation for her institute, and at the same time to seek a larger sphere of activity for her mission, which was the moral uplifting of the period, she journeyed to Rome in 1349, and remained there until her death, except while absent on pilgrimages, among them one to the Holy Land in 1373.
