The five nuns belong to the congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Mary Immaculate, founded in March 1893 in Túquerres by Mother Caridad Bader.
The institute is named for St. Clare of Assisi (1194-1253; canonized on 26 September 1255 by Pope Alexander IV), one of the first followers of St. Francis of Assisi (1181/2-1226; canonized on 16 July 1228 by Pope Gregory IX) and the founder of the Order of St. Clare (Clarisses).
The flag of the institute is, on the obverse, pink with the institute's emblem in the middle, and, on the reverse, green. Pink is a symbol of the joy of the youth. Green is a symbol of search and aspiration to a promising future.
The emblem of the institute, adopted in 1971, was designed by Sister Damascena Brunner. The shield is of modern Gothic shape, different from the ancient  Gothic shape by the point at the shield's bottom. The shield is divided by a gray bend sinister, representing the girdle of St. Francis of Assisi. The dexter field is red, a symbol of charity, love, force and blood, charged with a chalice, a symbol of love, and with a bread and a cross, symbols of unity. The sinister field is argent, a symbol of chastity, humility and limpidity, charged with a lamp, a symbol of science. All the charges are yellow, except the candle set in the lamp, which is red. The shield has a black bordure inscribed with "SANTA CLARA DE  ASIS" (top) and "AMOR Y CIENCIA" (Love and Science, bottom) in white letters.
