SAINT ANTHONY MARY

CLARET

(1807 – 1870)

Patron of Catholic press

Feast Day - October 24th

Born in Sallent, Spain, the son of a

weaver, the fifth of the eleven

children of Juan and Josefa Claret.

His father was a woollen

manufacturer. As a child, he

enjoyed pilgrimages to the nearby

Shrine of Our Lady of Fussimanya.

He received an elementary

education in his native village, and

at the age of twelve became a weaver. St. Anthony was

ordained a priest in 1835. After five years, he began to give

missions and retreats all over Catalonia. Seeing their success

and the people’s need for them, he founded (in 1849) the

Congregation of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart

of Mary (Claretians) to continue this work on a wider scale.

In that same year, he was consecrated Bishop of Santiago de

Cuba. Finding the diocese in a deplorable spiritual condition,

he quickly initiated vigorous reform measures, one of which was

the establishment of the Teaching Sisters of Mary Immaculate.

In 1857, he was recalled to Spain and made the chaplain of

Queen Isabella II. This position made it possible to continue

his mission work by preaching and publishing. He established

a museum, library, schools, and a laboratory, also helping to

revive the Catalan language. He spread devotion to the Blessed

Sacrament and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and after the

revolution of 1868 ended his life in exile with the Queen in

1870. He was canonized in 1950 by Pope Pius XII.
