Since 1845, along the River Raisin in the southeastern Michigan town of Monroe, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) have distinguished themselves as educators, activists, and Catholic pioneers. At the congregation's peak, the motherhouse dispatched nearly 1,600 nuns to more than 100 schools across metropolitan Detroit and several states. For 175 years, the sisters taught the three Rs and the meaning of faith to nearly 700,000 students and established important metro Detroit institutions such as Marygrove College, Immaculata and Marian High Schools, and St. Mary Academy. Widely known by their initials, the IHMs have extended their reach worldwide. Monroe IHM members have served in key roles at the Vatican, as leaders of organizations representing Catholic sisters in the United States, as missionaries in Third World countries, and as groundbreaking activists and theologians. The Monroe IHMs today also attract lay women and men who dedicate themselves to the congregation's values and goals by becoming IHM Associates.

Excerpt from The Sisters of the I. H. M: The Story of the Founding of the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Their Work in the Scranton Diocese We Catholics are sometimes too modest in narrating the glorious deeds of our forefathers and foremothers in the Faith and yet our divine Lord Himself has said to us: So let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. And so while the author thought upon the days of old, she had in her mind the eternal years the days of hardship and poverty on earth, but also the eternal years of the Beatific Vision in the kingdom of God.
