Our Congregation of the Sister Servants of Mary
Immaculate was founded in Poland on October 7, 1878, by Blessed Honorat
Kozminski, a Polish Franciscan Capuchin.
Our Motherhouse is located in Poland and presently there is a membership
of 800 sisters worldwide. We have houses in Poland, Italy, Lithuania,
Latvia and Africa.
In the United States, the Congregation initiated it's ministry in 1935
and its houses are located in Catonsville, MD (Provincial House);
Hyattsville, MD; Silver Spring, MD and Cleveland, OH. Sisters are
engaged in following diversified ministries: health care, early
childhood education, social action, pastoral/parish work, outreach
nursing care, and variety of other apostolic works.
The Sisters wear no distinctive garb, that is, the community is
non-habited. We strive to imitate Jesus, our Lord and Bridegroom, in the
mystery of his HIDDEN LIFE, which he practiced in Nazareth and continues
to practice by his hidden presence in the Church today-hidden in the
sacraments, especially in the Eucharist, and in each of our neighbors….
Sisters strive to exert influence on the Christian formation of human
society from within-after the model of evangelical leaven. Sisters
profess the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience.
Sisters live communal life with emphasis on communal prayer of Divine
Office, meditation, and Rosary.
The spirituality of our community is Christocentric, Marian and
Franciscan.
Our motto is “Love Mary and serve her faithfully.”
