Unidad Educadiva Santa Mariana de Jesús is located in Chone Canton (Manabí
Province).
The institute, named for St. Mariana of Jesus de Paredes (1618-1645; canonized
in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, Ecuador's first and patron saint), was established by
the Sisters of Santa Mariana de Jesús, a congregation founded in 1873 by Blessed
Mercedes de Jesús Molina y Ayala (1828-1883, aka the Rose of Guayas).

The flag of the institute is divided white-pink along the ascending diagonal.
White is a symbol of the virtue and purity of St. Mariana of Jesus. Pink is a
symbol of the virtue, innocence, joy, and dedication of Blessed Mercedes de
Jesús Molina y Ayala, the Rose of Guayas.
