Italian original Cite

LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR OF MAIQUETIA. - Founded in 1889 by the priest G. Machado (archdiocese of Caracas) and by Sister Emilia of St. Joseph.

Purpose: the care and assistance of the sick and the poor in hospitals, orphanages and other charitable works. On Jan. 4, 1902 it obtained the decree of praise. In the following years the Institute experienced a severe internal crisis, from which, however, it recovered and soon spread throughout very many dioceses of Latin America. On June 17, 1931, the Constitutions were approved ad septennium and definitively on Feb. 18, 1941. At present they have 16 houses, with 220 sisters.
