“Mission is at the heart of who we are, and love is the driving force that urges us on” - IBVM Constitutions, Vol. II (2.1)

Our call to be companions of Jesus is lived out in all that we do.  We dedicate our lives to mission with Jesus in our world, responding to its urgent needs, especially in education, social and spiritual ministry, and pastoral care. We have learned that mission is as much about receiving as it is about giving and together we often find ourselves building friendships and supporting others to become companions in mission.

The Institute as a whole seeks to discover where the greatest needs are and to respond with generosity.
