Sisters and the bishop at the Merida convent

Sisters and the bishop at the Merida convent.

Augusta Fajardo de Escalante made her request to Mother Purificación Chillarón for several Sisters to be established in Meridafor the purpose of providing her sick daughters and other sick persons in the city with the care of the Servants of Mary in their own homes. After consulting Mother General Josefa Díaz, it was decided to carry out the foundation by sending six Sisters including Mother Inés Pérez as Superior. The Sisters arrived in Meridaon May 17, 1900. Because of the Mexican Revolution, they left and later returned once again on April 5, 1949. The Sisters are dedicated to caring for the sick in their own homes and running a clinic for the poor.
