Ministries
The Religious of Jesus and Mary, from its origins in nineteenth-century France, has been marked by its Ignatian heritage, devotion to the hearts of Christ and Mary, and a missionary tradition. Present in 26 countries around the world, RJM sisters are united by a common vision and desire to reveal God’s love as mirrored in the hearts of Jesus and Mary, and to proclaim pardon and peace to our broken world. We serve in educational institutions, retreat houses, catechetical and social service centers, and pastoral ministries.
Since 1877, the USA RJM Province has responded to the needs of people in various parts of the United States: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Maryland, Washington, D.C., 
California and Texas, and, as of 1997, on the Caribbean island of Haiti. Through education, pastoral and social service, and health care, RJMs have ministered to children of all ages, teens and young adults, college students, parents, families, the homeless and poor, senior citizens and the aged.
