What is our Charisma?

The gift that the Spirit gave to Mother Alfonsa Cavin, as our Founder, consist in identify ourselves with Christ to announce the Good News to the poor. We are sent like the Apostles to proclaim the good News and to heal and at the same time we are urged by the reality of the necessities of the times. Our Mission is to regenerate the society, helping the people to come out from their low situation and live with dignity and the universality is one of the characteristics of the mission.

Who are we?

We are a religious Congregation within the Church, founded by a woman, Alfonsa Cavin, on August 4th,1850. In 2000, we have been celebrated the 150th Anniversary of our religious order.
Alfonsa Cavin, the Founder of the Missionary Sisters Of The Immaculate Conception, she was French by origin and she came from a poor, itinerant, Christian and religious family. She was the 3rd born of a six children family and her father died when she was only 12 years old. Since her young age, she was very religious and she loved Mary, our mother, that is why she gave the name of the Immaculate Conception to our Congregation.
Alfonsa Cavin, was a young woman who cared about her education in spite of the difficulties of her time. The life's school was the great and main teacher of her religious inspiration, living among risks, creativity and adaptation's capacity. She always defended values like truth, justice, love and friendship.
Alfonsa Cavin, being a Sister of the Sacred Family at Bordeaux, in France, was after sent to Mataro', in Spain, on 1846, to initiate a work of education with Mataro's poor girls. And this mission, was the first sign of her vocational life. She belonged to the Congregation of the Sacred Family for a period of 4 years. So, after the first job assignment, next to Mataro's poor girls, she started, in 1850, The religious Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. The new Religious Congregation was born and marked with a strong missionary spirit. On 1885, the first Missionary Sisters were sent from Spain to Equatorial Guinea, in Africa. Those sisters were so the first Missionary Religious Women who came to Africa. Mother Alfonsa Cavin, the Founder, lived in the Congregation for a period of 18 years and later on, in 1868, she died on January the 3rd, of the same year, in Logrono, Spain.
