We
were born in the Church in the year 1855, in Cuba. Our Founders
are St. Anthony Mary Claret and Venerable Maria Antonia
Paris. We arrived in the Philippines on October 7, 1987.
Moved by the
Spirit, and following the footsteps of Claret and Paris,
the Claretian Missionary Sisters are dedicated to the evangelization
of all peoples, as Claret would say, seeking to respond
"to the most urgent needs in the most efficient ways."
Our Spirituality
As Claretian
Sisters, we have been called to unite action with contemplation.
Our missionary activity springs from a daily encounter with
the Lord in prayer. Our mission is supported by our community
life, of which Antonia Paris spoke in terms of a family,
after the example of the early Church: "Charity makes us
a single family with a single heart."
From the beginning
of the Institute, Mary has been mother, friend, and model
to the Claretian Missionary Sisters. Mary, in the mystery
of her Immaculate Conception is our patroness. This mystery
impels us to struggle against evil in any of its forms,
and it renders us open to love and joy. Mary, as the woman
who is open to the Spirit and incarnates the Words to share
it, is our model of evangelizer.
