A Few Words About Claretian University

The Claretians (Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary) are an international, Roman Catholic religious congregation of priests, brothers, and seminarians. Like our founder, Saint Anthony Mary Claret, we strive to reflect God’s reign of life, love, justice, and peace to our world today by responding to the most urgent needs in ways that are most timely and effective.

The Claretian University of Nigeria was founded by the Claretian Missionaries in Nigeria and reflects the same spirit and mission of the Claretians.
