The life at the Mary
Immaculate Residence orients towards the
creation of a familiar ambience where
harmory and the search of a common good
facilitate living together.
For this, several
rules are necessary that the young
ladies who live in the Residence must
accept. Religious and young ladies feel
called to a common task; by which they
have to commit themselves in an active
and responsible participation. Likewise,
it requires the collaboration and
interest of the parents and guardians,
to carry out the educative and
formative task proper of the residence
from a true complementariety.
