On July 25th, 2014 the Bishop of San Sebastian, Spain, the Most Reverend José Ignacio Munilla, constituted the community of the Sisters of Maria Stella Matutina as a Public Association of the Faithful in order to become a Religious Institute (according to the Code of Canon Law 312 § 1, 3°), after receiving authorization from the Holy Father, Pope Francis.
The community is now spread out over twenty-five priories and is present in several dioceses in Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Australia. We desire to be a presence of prayer in the heart of today’s world and answer the Holy Father’s call to a New Evangelization, according to the needs and requests of the Church, as witnesses to the joy of living the Gospel.
