DAUGHTERS OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION (Buenos Aires). - The Institute's juridical existence dates back to Sept. 1904, when the archbishop of Buenos Aires recognized it as an Institute of diocesan right.

Its origins, however, are linked to the Institute of the Sisters of Charity Daughter of the Immaculate, known as the "Turchine," founded by Maria Foliano in the diocese of Cariati (Catanzaro). This Institute, founded on 30 Jan. 1898, was dissolved on 30 Jan. 1901, and the Ordinaries of the places where houses of it existed were given the faculty to unite them into congregations of diocesan right, changing only the habit, the title and the constitutions of the Institute. The Argentine Congregation developed and obtained from the Holy See the decree of praise on 14 Feb. 1934, while the constitutions, approved provisionally in 1934, received definitive approval in 1942. In 1946 it had 16 houses and 180 professed sisters.
