Wherever we go we are mindful of our origins and faithful to our charism.
Our primary concern is for women and children in need of God's love and goodness.
For over 150 years, the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary have worked primarily with:
Women wounded in dignity, heart or soul
Persons abandoned or alone
Emotionally troubled adolescent girls
Homeless Children
Young women seeking autonomy
Students searching for knowledge
