Our Founder

In 1932, the late Archbishop Aston Ignatius Chichester founded” the Little Children of Our Blessed Lady” Congregation of Diocesan Right in the Archdiocese of Salisbury, Rhodesia. He decided to put them under the protection and patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Everything had to start from scratch. The members of the newly founded Congregation worked on the missions, as teachers, catechists, nurses and domestic workers. Thus, our apostolates started to take shape.
