Harris Technology Services is a family‑run technology services company that has been servicing the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) for over many years and it was a company founded on the belief that mission‑driven organizations deserve enterprise‑level technology support delivered with clarity, integrity, and personal commitment. Since their inception, Harris Technology Services has focused on helping schools, nonprofits, and community‑centered institutions use technology more effectively, securely, and efficiently.
However, the partnership between Harris Technology Services and the IHM began not through a formal engagement, but through a simple act of service rooted in community connection. Morgan Harris, founder and CEO of Harris Technology Services, says that the relationship started much earlier from his time of growing up in Stone Harbor. “I knew Sister James, who was the main sister of the retreat house [Villa Maria by the Sea] there,” he said. “I started by helping her get Wi‑Fi in one room for the sisters to work.”
What began as a modest request soon evolved into a broader collaboration. As the needs of the retreat house expanded, Harris continued to support the sisters with increasing scope and sophistication. “It grew each year until the new building was built and Wi‑Fi was everywhere,” Morgan explains. “Then we began helping with IT issues and security projects at the Motherhouse, Camilla, the lower school, the high school, and other schools in the IHM family.”
Over time, Harris became a trusted technology partner across the IHM community, assisting with networking, security, planning, and numerous initiatives that strengthened the sisters’ ability to carry out their ministries.
This partnership is grounded in shared values; service, stewardship, and a commitment to supporting organizations that make a meaningful impact, which all comes from his respect for the IHM’s. “The Sisters of IHM are great, and their missions help people around the world,” Morgan says. “We have helped them maximize their IT investment, and I know that any dollar we donate will directly go to helping people, as they are very prescriptive with their financials and spend wisely.”
For Harris, supporting IHM events such as Sippin’ for the Sisters and the Nun Run is a natural extension of this relationship. These gatherings bring together individuals who care deeply about the congregation’s work and help raise awareness for the Sisters’ ministries. The spirit of community and shared purpose reflected in these events aligns closely with the values that guide Harris as a family‑owned business. “We’ve dramatically increased their efficiency and their IT systems with less investment by utilizing their options effectively,” Morgan adds, underscoring the company’s commitment to responsible stewardship and long‑term partnership.
Today, Harris remains honored to support the Sisters of IHM and their mission. What began in a single room in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, has grown into a lasting collaboration built on trust, respect, and a shared dedication to service.
