W niniejszej publikacji przedstawiono działalność Litewskiego Rzymsko-Katolickiego Stowarzyszenia Sług św. Zyty, które w pierwszej połowie XX wieku zajmowało znaczące miejsce w życiu społeczności litewskiej w Wilnie. Stowarzyszenie prowadziło schronisko dla poszukujących pracy służących Litwinek, pośredniczyło w znalezieniu pracy, organizowało kursy czytania, pisania i katechizmu, urządzało zebrania połączone z odczytami, śpiewem ludowych pieśni litewskich, przedstawieniami scenicznymi i tańcami, pilnowało, żeby członkinie nie zaniedbywały spraw religijnych.
