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]
