HANDMAIDS OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY. - Religious institute founded in Lerida in Spain in 1862 by Speranza Gonzales y Puig, for the rehabilitation of fallen women and for the Christian instruction of young girls. Much material assistance to the foundation was given by Gonzales's brother, so that the work was able to develop and spread. The Holy See approved it in 1887. Today it has 6 houses with about 100 sisters.
