Did You Know...The origins of the IHM Congregation can be traced back to a log cabin. It was there that Reverend Louis Florent Gillet, a Redemptorist missionary, having searched in vain for religious to teach his people, resolved to found a Sisterhood of his own. November 10, 1845 was the founding of the Congregation of Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Happy 169th Anniversary to our Sisters!
