On March 1, 1884, the Community moved to Vicolo del Falco 18 because the flat in Borgo Nuovo was not large enough. Initially Mother Frances rented only one floor of the building, reserving the possibility of renting the second floor as well. A picture of the Holy Family donated by Mother Frances' parents was placed in the new apartment and devoutly displayed in the small chapel of the house.
The closest church to the new flat was the Franciscan church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Here the sisters provided various services, devoting themselves to typing texts for the Catholic Teaching Society's printing business, taking care of the sick at home and educating the poor children in the neighborhood. They remained in Vicolo del Falco until December 1, 1885, when they moved to Borgo Santo Spirito 41.
