IHM Sponsored Ministries: A Response to the Divine Call
When I ponder IHM sponsorship, I think of the God vision that was Marywood, Saint Joseph’s Center, Friends of the Poor and Our Lady of Grace.

They listened carefully to God’s call and trusted that these ministries would evolve and bear fruit.
