Our
mission as Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Scranton, Pennsylvania,
is to follow Jesus as a community of disciples,
aware that we are sent to be a clear and understandable prophetic
witness
to the presence of God in the world.
Inspired by the missionary zeal of our founders,
Reverend Louis Florent Gillet, C.Ss.R.,
and Mother Theresa Maxis Duchemin, I.H.M.
we strive to be faithful to our charism:
to
rejoice and to share in Jesus' redemptive mission
to proclaim the Good News of God's universal love
and to recreate the face of the earth.
We are an apostolic religious
institute
characterized by joyful, loving, hospitable,
and self-emptying service
to the people of God.
All our ministries are works for justice and peace,
they receive and give life
in relation to the depth of our spiritual union with Jesus
and our participation in his mission.
In the power of Jesus
and with devotion to Mary,
we live chastity, poverty and obedience
as prophetic signs of hope in our world.
We acknowledge our need to manifest
concern, service and advocacy
for the economically poor.
Relying always on God's
providence,
we will continue to serve God's people in a variety of ministries,
living and working lovingly among all persons.
