Poor Clare Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Missionary Clarisses of the Most Holy Sacrament (in Spanish Misioneras Clarisas del Santísimo Sacramento) is a female religious institute of pontifical right. The sisters of this congregation use the initials M.C.[1]
The congregation originates from the missionary community founded in Cuernavaca in 1945 by Manuela de Jesús Arias Espinosa (1904–1981), a Clarisse sacramentarian nun. On June 22, 1951, the Holy See authorized the community in Cuernavaca to separate from the Clarisse sacramentarians and establish itself as a congregation dedicated to active apostolate. The constitutions of the Missionary Clarisses obtained pontifical approval on May 5, 1953.[2]
