The first Bridgettine sisters arrived to Estonia already in 1412. Today, the Bridgettine sisters live and work in a new convent, located at Pirita area. 
The history of the Pirita Convent dates back to XV century. The idea to found a convent in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, was initiated by some Tallinn merchants already in 1400. 
In 1999, Pope John Paul II chose Birgitta as Europe's co-patron saint. St. Birgitta shares this honour with two other women, Saint Catherine of Siena and Saint Teresia Benedicta of the Cross
