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!
