On this day in 1845, Father Louis Florent Gillet and Sister Theresa Maxis founded the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Monroe, Michigan. The goal of the community was to educate girls. In 1858, they sent Sisters to Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, which became a separate community. The IHM Community of over 475 sisters and 115 associates actively ministers throughout the United States and in Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Uganda and South Africa. The Monroe IHM community shares a common origin with three other religious communities: the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Scranton<\/a>; Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Immaculata<\/a>; and the OSP IHM<\/a> in Baltimore. For the past several years, these four communities have made a commitment to reconnect and envision a common future.<\/div>\n
