Through their focus on the Eucharist, ministry to priests, and their liturgical service, they remind the people of God of what is truly valuable. Their focus of attention is on the Divine Master.

Here is the next clue:

This order was started in 1891 in Rome, Italy. The congregation has homes in four countries--United States, Canada, Australia and South America. Their apostolates are health care and education.

It sounds similar to the Sisters of Mercy of Alma, Michigan. But I think that was around 1974?

But I see this was answered already. :)

Can I add one even though I haven't guessed?

This order began in Hungary during WWII. they emigrated to Canada and later to the US. They use videos and music to teach the faith to young people. and at one time they had a convent in Reno right down the street from my house!

How about a cloistered monastic TWO-FER? It's not my turn but I will throw this in anyhow.

The place is medieval France. Which makes the time, close to 1200 AD.
Two very different groups of men are putting down the roots of two religious orders which exist to the present day, and what happens is:
a group of WOMEN, a different group for each of the masculine foundations, becomes their first monastery of CLOISTERED NUNS.
Here's the curious part: the foundations are in two different towns, but each town name begins with the letters PR-.
Remember: it's when the WOMEN were accepted by the men and became affiliated with the men's supervision and the charism of the men's order.

If you can scare up the names of these towns, so much the better, but what REALLY counts is:
what are the two orders?

The first monastery of Dominican (Order of Preachers) nuns was founded in Prouillhe in 1205.

I'm really guessing on the second one - the Premonstratensian Canonesses, otherwise known as the Norbertines? Founded in Prémontré, but I can't find a date of foundation.
