Sr. Lucy Abbey - Pastoral Associate

Ministry within the Catholic Church has been at the heart of IHM ministry from its founding in 1845. Following Vatican II the ministry has taken on new forms. In addition to religious formation of youth, religious formation of adults has developed.

Coordination of Christian Service Programs and responsibility for planning parish liturgies and music programs are ministries that IHMs assumed. In some dioceses sisters are administrators of parishes. Service to the Church continues to be an important ministry within the IHM Community.
