Is your heart longing for God? Are you searching for a life of dedication and meaning? Are you looking for a place to give your love? Are you yearning to serve the needs of God’s people? Are you hungering to share life, prayer, conversation, energy and resources with others who have the same desires?  We encourage you to explore life among the IHM Sisters on this web site.

We are a community of Catholic Women Religious, known as the IHM Sisters, who believe that, in the eyes of God, every person is worthy of love.  For more than 170 years, thousands of women have joined us to witness with their lives the unconditional love that God has for people and for our precious earth inhabited by those people. We are rooted in God and in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Like Jesus, our Redeemer, we love God’s people and we stand with them celebrating their joys and hopes and tending to their anxieties, their griefs, and their pressing needs. We invite you to consider standing together with us as we courageously commitment ourselves to joyful, loving, hospitable and self emptying service as Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.   Read our vocation stories and enter into the hearts of IHM Sisters of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
