For Carmen Sallés the
mission to educate was the reason of her existence. |
|
|
Since her early beginnings she showed
her extraordinary gifts of nature and grace, which later developed into the world wide
activity.

The charism given to M. Carmen and transmitted to the Sisters
for over a hundred years is eminently Marian. For her and for us, Sisters, the person of
Mary in the mystery of her Immaculate Conception is the key of both, the spirituality and
the mission specific to the Congregation. Being Mary the model and inspiration of our
lives, we strive to bring our contemplation of the Immaculate Mother of God to our daily
task of education of youth. Just as Mary was redeemed at her conception in view of the
merits of her Son, so education in our centers intends to be a means of preservation of
sin in order that youths may learn how to be creative Christians citizens in our society.

The
undertaking of Carmen Sallés, as she set out to counteract evil by means of good, is the
legacy of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception. To take up the challenge today, we
continue to work especially, but not exclusively, in the field of education in partnership
with lay people, who share their Christian faith, their talents, and their concerns, to
serve in the process of education of children and youth. |
