The Servant of God Mother Jeronima of the Assumption P.C.C. (Spanish: Gerónima de la Asunción García Yánez y De La Fuente) (May 9 1555 – October 22 1630) was the foundress of the first Catholic monastery in Manila and the Far East. Mother Jeronima’s monastery became known as the Monastery of Saint Clare in Intramuros Philippines. For her efforts as the first founding missionary woman in the Philippines the Vatican issued an apostolic decree for her beatification in 1734.
