Your attendance and/or donation

  • helps support the retired IHM Sisters.
    Even the best plans could not have anticipated the rising costs that impact the Sisters’ care — health care, prescription medications, technology, transportation, and more. Because of this, and a significant drop in vocations, we need your help for our retired IHM Sisters — women who have dedicated their lives to service, asking nothing in return.
  • will honor our 2025 Spirit of IHM award recipients – Monsignor John Jordan and Dr. Kathleen Munley.
  • and will help the Sisters celebrate the 180th anniversary of the founding of the Sisters of IHM – bringing with it radical love, service, learning, and justice. You will help us carry the Sisters’ light forward—into the next 180 years!

Reservations and sponsorships must be received
by July 16th.

Msgr John W Jordan

Monsignor John W. Jordan, a West Pittston native and lifelong advocate for Catholic education, was ordained in 1969 and went on to earn advanced degrees in education and administration. He served as principal of three diocesan high schools and later as Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Scranton, earning national recognition for his innovative leadership.
