United in Mission
The Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM) and Congregatio Jesu (CJ), currently two different congregations, are becoming one.
As Mary Ward women, we are determined to accomplish and celebrate this process that will lead us to the union of hearts and minds.
Two congregations joining as one
We are living our process of union deeply, taking time to know each other. Members of the IBVM and CJ leadership teams are taking steps on the path to Becoming One, visiting provinces and regions, and taking time to meet communities of sisters.
