"What a privilege

it is to be Our Lord's

messengers of grace!"

Mother Mary Teresa, Foundress

In imitation of the Sacred Heart of the Good Shepherd, Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate are contemplative-missionaries, seeking souls by visitation to parish families and by religious instruction.

Since 1920, we

have knocked on

doors ... opening

the hearts and

minds of

countless families

and individuals to

the saving truths

of the Catholic

Faith.

Parish Visitor Sisters visit families and individuals where they live, as well as along the way, in order to win souls for Christ.  A typical conversation begins, "Has anyone in this household ever been baptized Catholic?"  This simple question has begun the process of re-evangelizing hundreds of thousands of those who have strayed from Jesus.

Religious instruction informally at home or in small groups and formal parish classes help adults, children, and teens respond to the love of God with their whole heart.  In this way, the gift of faith may become more living, conscious and active.

The Sisters go out door-to-door

and any other place where people

may be found and, by extending

the message and the love of

Christ, strive to draw each person

into closer union with Him.

Founded in New York City by

Mother Mary Teresa Tallon, the

Sisters combine a contemplative

prayer life with an apostolate of

missionary visitation and of

catechesis, going out to persons

as a friend, bringing the message

and love of the Good Shepherd, 

Who came to seek out and bring

back the lost sheep.

Our Life of Love

WHAT A JOY IT IS TO BE A PARISH VISITOR,

introducing and re-introducing

Jesus to others.
