There are two founders of clerics regular with the same first two names – Sts Anthony Mary Zaccaria and Claret, respectively.

The Barnabites, founded by the former: https://www.barnabites.com/

and the Claretians, founded by the latter: http://www.claret.org/

Then there are the Somascans, founded by St Jerome Emiliani, who founded orphanages: https://somascans.org/

Then the Piarists, who have a whole family of congregations dedicated to education:

And the only Theatine website in English: http://www.theatinesusa.com

That should keep you busy for a while.
