History The year was 1921. In the midst of the Mexican Revolution the Congregation of the Cordi- Marian Sisters was founded in the city of Puebla de Los Angeles in Mexico. The founder was Carman Serrano, a dedicated catechist who had a great desire to reach the innumerable throngs of people, especially women and children who had no one to evangelize them. Carmen Serrano and a catechist friend received the inspiration from God to found the congregation as they knelt in front of the Blessed Sacrament in the small chapel of “San Mathias”. In 1926, the group of Sisters fled Mexico to escape the religious persecution. They were offered to minister to the people in Martindale, Texas until they could find a place where to live. Later they settled in Chicago Ill. and San Antonio, Texas, therefore becoming the first Cordi-Marian Sisters in the United States. Since then, the Sisters have dedicated their lives to God through prayer and reaching out to the poor evangelizing them by means of schools, media, and social work. The Sisters’ presence grew in the United States stretching into communities including Chicago, East St. Louis, Illinois, San Marcos, Houston, Cotulla and San Antonio, Texas. The Cordi-Marian Medal
All the sisters wear the Cordi-Marian Medal at all times to remind them of their charism and mission. It is a spiritual reminder of the promise they made to dedicate their lives to teach all nations for the sake of the Kingdom of the whole world through prayer teaching and spreading the word of God. |
