The Congregation of the Daughters of Mary of the Immaculate Conception is an American pontifical community founded in New Britain in 1904 by Reverend Lucian Bojnowski to honor the Immaculate Conception and to help the less fortunate through an intrinsically Marian apostolate. In conformity with the needs of the universal and local Church, the congregation has diversified apostolates in education, social service and health care. The sisters serve in the Archdioceses of Hartford, Boston, and New York and the Diocese of Springfield, Massachusetts. Their apostolic works include an academy, a home for the aged, three residences for women, a reading clinic, two skilled care facilities, a day-care center, and two parochial schools.

The congregation may admit any Catholic woman between the ages of 18 and 35 (with exceptions) who expresses a desire to live a consecrated life. She must be impelled by good intentions, capable of fulfilling the duties of this state of life, psychologically qualified, and free from all canonical impediments
