"Unidad Educativa 'Corazón de María'", located at
Cuenca, is run by the nuns of the Congregation of the Oblate
Nuns.
The congregation was founded in Cuenca by Father Julio María
Matovelle. Mother Leticia de Jesús Célleri, Superior General of
the congregation, commissioned Noemí Gárate Espinoza to found
an educative institute, which was recognized by Ministerial
Decree No. 1099 on 30 September 1959. The institute was named
after the patron of the congregation, the Heart of Mary.

The flag of the institute, according to the photo and the description
available on the website
of the institute, is horizontally divided light blue-white
with the emblem of the institute in the middle. The colours of
the flag are the traditional Marian colours.
On the flag, the emblem of the institute is a blue shield with a
white open book (as the symbol of the future opened by science)
charged with a white lily (on the left page, as the symbol of the
good souls) and a dove (on the right page, as the messenger of
peace), supported by a red cross. The shield is surrounded by a
blue border, charged on top with the white writing "UND ED
CORAZON DE MARIA". A white scroll on the base of the shield
bears the Latin congregation's motto in red letters "OB
AMOREM DEI" (For the love of God). There is a golden fringe
around the flag.
The emblem of the institute, as shown graphically on the website
of the institute, seems to be a modernized version of the emblem
shown on the flag.
