Sesquicentennial
Mission Statement We, the Sisters, Servants of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary of Monroe, Michigan, Immaculata
and Scranton, Pennsylvania, remember, praise and thank God
for the graces of the past 150 years of our common heritage.
We commemorate this year of Jubilee in a grateful, loving,
prayerful spirit with all who have been, are and will be
a part of our lives as we create our future.
We re-dedicate ourselves to a shared, simple life, grounded
in contemplative reflection and creative compassionate action
on behalf of justice and peace.
We re-commit ourselves to the transformation of a global
society --in the spirit of Louis Florent Gillet, CssR, Theresa
Maxis Duchemin, IHM, our early Sisters, and all those IHM
Women who have gone before us.
United in Community by the love of Jesus Christ we urge
one another to be conscious of the poverty, hunger, violence
and injustices suffered by the majority of the human family.
With Mary of the Magnificat we stand with the poor.
We celebrate this year of Jubilee; --a moment of renewed
courage, of risk acknowledged and accepted, of hope unchecked,
of faith unfolding in our lives, in our history, and in
our God.
