The Order of the Sisters
of the Immaculate Conception is an Apostolic Congregation founded by Blessed
Carmen Sallés, in Burgos, Spain, in 1892. We
dedicate our lives to serve God and His people through our ministry, imitating Jesus in
His task of Teacher who announces the Kingdom to the multitudes, and gathers
children to lead them to the Father. |
Our Congregation is a Marian
way of life. Mary Immaculate is our model of love and openness to the Lord, the one who
continually responded "yes" to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. 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 schools intends to be a means of preservation of sin, in order that youth
may live as creative Christian citizens in our society.
Our prayer life holds first place. It is
the source from which our life and apostolate flow, and from which we receive the strength
needed for our apostolic works. We also experience the support of living in community, in
sharing our lives, our joys, our struggles, our dreams, and our material possessions.
We share the Father's love with the
people we are sent to serve through:
|
 |
Teaching
Catechesis
Missions
Social and pastoral ministries
Orphanages |
