Our Thank you to our Volunteers...
How many times have we said..."We could never do what we do without the help of our wonderful volunteers?" Too many to count! It was our great pleasure to invite these wonderful women for an afternoon of fun, togetherness, relaxation, and yes, fun! As has become our custom, we held a themed "Thank you" Party for our volunteers. All were dressed for a rainy day Luau, and we had lots of "indoor sunshine" on May 21st as we enjoyed one another's company, played a few games, laughed over prizes, and feasted on our Hawaiian themed food! A small way for us to offer a GREAT THANKS to these helpers who graciouosly welcome and serve our guests! Summer Blessings to all...we can't wait to see you in the Fall!

Our IHM Presence in Our World Today!
The IHM Sisters are pleased to announce a bold new initiative on the part of the Congregation. On the feast of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary (2024), we placed under her special patronage the launch of our new monthly communication to the many people who, through the years, have so generously supported our mission and ministry to God’s people.
Our outreach effort is intended to be a point of light, a “bright spot” in your very busy lives connecting you in a more meaningful way with the charism and mission of the IHM Congregation. It will highlight our Alphonsian spirituality and provide helpful information on the many enrichment opportunities offered by the Congregation throughout the year. Enjoy!
