Welcome to Congregatio Jesu

The Slovak Province rejoices in two young sisters who are walking with confidence and courage on the path of following Jesus in the Congregatio Jesu.

On 14 September 2025 IBVM celebrated 180 years of presence in Mauritius.

Dear Sisters,
It is with joy and gratitude that we share the attached wonderful news that IBVM members have voted in favour of merger with the Congregatio Jesu. Our foundress, and the great cloud of witnesses are smiling down on all IBVM and CJ sisters today. This is truly a historic and grace-filled moment as our Mary Ward family, spread across the world, will soon become one. We stand on the threshold of seeing this dream take on a fuller expression of unity and communion. ...

Together with all Christians, we celebrate it and extend it into the “Season of Creation” until 4 October, the feast of St Francis of Assisi.

Sr Carmel wrote a letter and recorded a video on the occasion of this very special feast day for the Mary Ward family. You can hear her speaking here ...

Sister Veronica Fuhrmann CJ, our General Superior, has written a letter to all members of the Congregatio Jesu on the occasion of the Feast of St Ignatius 2025.
