The religious order was founded in 2001 in Tyrol, Austria, and moved to Italy in 2004. Pope Benedict XVI on October 7, 2008, granted the community the status of a society of apostolic life under papal law .

It is a contemplative institute whose sisters do not live in seclusion and who celebrate the liturgy of 1962 . The institute sees itself in the tradition of St. Francis de Sales and is under the patronage of the Immaculate Mother of God Mary . Their motto is In corde Regis (In the heart of the king).

The convent near Florence is located near the seminary of the Institute of Christ the King and High Priest in Gricigliano, where the first three sisters were dressed in spring 2004 . The order now has over 40 sisters and more than 10 postulants (as of 2019). In January 2014, the Adoration Sisters settled as a further convent in the Maria Engelport Monastery in Germany.
