“That they may become completely one (Mary Ward)”

Welcome to Congregatio Jesu

We are the Congregatio Jesu, a congregation of women religious sisters founded by an Englishwoman, Mary Ward, in 1609. Today, inspired by her vision, we live and work worldwide as companions of Jesus in mission.

Mary Ward taught us that sincerity means speaking and living truthfully, with courage and integrity. In a world that often rewards appearances, her value invites us to be genuine, honest, and rooted in what truly matters.
For our sisters and the Mary Ward family worldwide, sincerity is not just... a personal virtue, we live in the consiousness that it is a way of building trust, deepening relationships, and witnessing to the Gospel with simplicity and clarity.

May we, like Mary Ward, be women (and men) of sincerity: open-hearted, truthful, and free.
