About the Province of the Immaculate Conception

Our Lady under the title of her Immaculate Conception is the patroness of the United States of America. She also is the patroness of our Province which includes the United States, Canada, and Guyana.

Our sisters began the mission in the United States in 1994, at the invitation of the Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn. We later began working in Canada in 2004 and in Guyana in 2007.
