Claretian Sisters

The Claretian Sisters were founded in 1855 by Venerable María Antonia París (1813 - 1885) and St. Anthony Mary Claret. As of 2012, they were the third largest Catholic religious institute for women, with around 7,171 members.^[1]

History

The Claretian Missionary Sisters were founded in Santiago de Cuba in 1855. In 1850 Sister María Antonia París, met Anthony Mary Claret and told him of her concept of a new religious institute. When Claret was appointed Archbishop of Santiago, he wrote her, inviting her to found her new congregation in Cuba. The new community opened schools for girls.^[2]

The patroness of the institute is Mary, under the title of the Immaculate Conception .
