Claretian Missionary Sisters - Misioneras Claretianas -

Mary Immaculate - our Patroness' day

Mary Immaculate, you are the sign on our path… your life in poverty, obedience and chastity, totally dedicated to the mission of your Son … is our model.

Mary Immaculate … the mystery that impels us to work against all kind of evil, open to the joy and hope.

Mary Immaculate … loving you we love the Lord and collaborate in your maternity over the People of God. (Constitutions of the Congregation 9).

From the origins of the Congregation, Mary Immaculate is our Patroness. The foundation of the Institute, in the same year of the proclamation of the Dogma, was considered by our Founders as providential sign for our mission of hope and renewal of the Church.

May Mother Mary, help us to walk in the faith and go out in readiness to assist those who are in need, collaborating in the New World.

Apostolic Project of the Congregation - works in progress

In Madrid, from 23rd till 30th, the Team formed by sisters; Maria Soledad, Chony, Beatriz, Ondina, Rosa, Judith and Priscilla, accompanied By Fr Abel Toraño SJ have worked to draw the Apostolic Project of the Congregation. It was a fruit of collaboration and contibutions of all Entities put together prior the encounter.

Year of Consecrated Life

In different places all over the world the year of Consecrated  Life begins with celebrations, prayer sevices and  commitment to  enliven our mission.

The objectives pointed out for this year are:

                             Live out the present time with passion, evangelizing our vocation and bear witness to the beauty of the following Christ in the world, in so may different forms of consecration.

Being aware of our claretian charismatic  character to  "search in everything the conversion of all consecrated persons devoted to the service of God"  (Goal and Aim), we want to  correspond to this convocation of the Holy Father, in communion with all consecrated people, to bless, praise and give thanks to God, for His call to love and serve.

Ongoing Formation

The Entities and communities are carrying out various activities all over the claretian world in the process of discernment as we are on the way of the Restructuring Project.

Here we share two recent experiences of African Delegation and of Formation Community in Indonesia.

The superiors, administrators of the African Delegation gathered to study the legal issues, implication of civil and canon law in the life of the communities in relationship to the customs and properties. In the second part of the session the sisters had their spiritual retreat - opportunity to deepen and strengthen in communion the spirituality and fraternity.

The community of Jogjakarta in Indonesia has their retreats program to work on the importance of formation team working, sharing this experience both the community and formandies. Building up the community from the beginnings of the insertion in the community is basic for the claretian spirituality and misison.

New mission in Sri Lanka

On 8^th of November 2014 we the Claretian Sisters in Sri Lanka started a new mission in the diocese of Chilaw, Parish Kotttapitiya. The blessing of the house, done by the Bishop Valence Mendis marked a joyful and historical moment for our Congregation extending our claretian presence and service for the evangelization. The people of Kottapitiya Parish and the Diocese of Chilaw expressed their support and help.

We felt the pastoral care of the Shepherd of the Diocese, the support of the Parish Priest and parishioners. The new community formed by sisters Thushari, Roshani and Robecca will attend the pastoral needs especially of the minorities and youth, in this coastal zone on the western side of the Island.

In the starting of the new mission the sisters from the first community in Colombo were present together with the Claretian fathers and other religious.
