The Missionaries of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (Claretians), founded by St. Anthony Mary Claret in 1849 in Cuba, is a clerical congregation committed to evangelization, media, and devotion to the Immaculate Heart. With 3,000 members in 70 countries, they operate radio stations and missions in Africa and Asia. Their Caribbean origins and focus on popular piety make them vital to Latin America's 40% Catholic population (480 million).
