Mission
The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Mother of Christ was founded in Nigeria by Archbishop Charles Heerey, C.S.Sp in 1937. Inspired by his humility, outstanding love of God and filial devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we strive to imitate Christ in the humble and compassionate service to the poor, the sick and the less privileged of the society. We dedicate ourselves to the training of women and children, teaching, pastoral and social work. We are found in eleven countries around the world, with nine houses in North America.
