CLARETIAN MISSIONARIES – are officially called SONS
OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY originally in Latin known as
- CORDIS MARIAE FILII, and hence, the abbreviation CMF.
The Congregation was
founded by St. Anthony Mary Claret in the year 1849 in Vic - Spain with five
other co-founders. It is an international religious missionary Congregation
spread in more than 65 countries all over the world with more than three
thousand members. Founded by an itinerant preacher, Claretians are ‘servants of
the Word of God’ and in all that they do they seek their own sanctification,
salvation of souls and the greater glory of God. The Congregation has a history
of more than 150 years spread throughout the world.
In East Africa, Claretians
have a history of 25 years and are involved in pastoral ministries in various
dioceses, publication ministry, education, health, formation and other
ministries according to the needs of the people in a particular place with
priority to what is urgent and timely. Claretians welcome young men who are willing
to respond to God’s call in this particular congregation with a basic academic
qualification of form six in Uganda and in Tanzania, and form four in Kenya.
Equivalent academic qualifications apart from form six and form four as
indicated above, the cases are looked into with respective vocation
facilitators in East Africa. The congregation continues to grow in various
parts of the world both in terms of both vocations and missions.
