Following in the tradition of St. Alphonsus Liguori, the spirit of Jesus Christ the Redeemer and the legacy of our founders, the spirit of the IHM congregation lives within each sister. The essence of Redemptorist spirituality is rooted in the self-emptying of Jesus Christ and it is this spirit which impels the sisters to offer themselves in joyful giving of themselves to God by their transformation into Christ and their incorporation into his redeeming mission through the Church.
True to the apostolic and missionary spirt of St. Alphonsus, the IHM spirit manifests itself in simplicity of lifestyle, dedication to the abandoned poor, fidelity to mission, and a welcoming hospitality to all God’s people. The legacy of the early Sisters comes alive in each member of the congregation within the apostolates served by them and resonates with each life they touch.
