There website is Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate

A number of years ago (maybe 5-6), I was on their mailing list. I was fascinated and interested in their apostolate and way of life. But I never felt called/compelled to explore further.

The sister of one of our sisters at our monastery in the Philippines is with this congreation. They are a fine, small community.

Thanks for sharing that information...what a facinating community!

I have never heard of this community, but they sound like a wonderful community!

It's nice to see orders going door to door still. Looks like a nice community.

I too recieved some information from these sisters in the mail. They look like a wonderful community!! However, I don't feel that I'm called there as of now.

I've met some of those sisters (I went to college with one of them and we would often converse at meals) and I can say that they are quite orthodox and certainly in communion with Rome.
