You’re invited – and bring a friend! Join the IBVM Sisters and their ministries – Anawim Arts, Mary Ward Center (celebrating 25 years), Sr. Christa’s Border Ministry, JPIC and Sr. Brenda’s Mission & Ministry – for lunch, connection and summer sweepstakes drawing.

Sisters, companions and friends will have tables around the room featuring the various IBVM ministries with educational information, photos, handmade items, books, activities and (most definitely) a few fun surprises!

As IBVM founder, Mary Ward, stated, “Mission is at the heart of who we are, and love is the driving force that urges us on.” IBVM Constitution Vol. 2.1. We are fundraising for all IBVM ministries and appreciate your support in IBVM’s efforts to serve our communities through the mission, vision and work of the IBVM Sisters.

We look forward to seeing you!
