Just show up at any house of the Religious of Mary Immaculate, and discover the constant going and coming of the restless youth, few searchers, apparently defeated, others....

Very diversed situations but all with one common aspiration : to open up way... More than a hundred houses of the congregation founded by St. Vicenta Maria, marked by " triumph of the girls "...,  houses in which the welcoming and the joy shine, offered as gifts, to whoever knocks/calls at the door because the youth is the object of the love of each Religious of Mary Immaculate.  

With its own style, the integral formation continues to occupy at the center of our pastoral action and is the key that opens them to the future.  The congregational guidelines  are giving form in small gestures and initiatives in the daily life; without much noise, they are not great things but make possible " to cultivate her life "... to experience the good, to discover that God loves them.

The houses of Vicenta Maria, want to respond to the great needs of the youth and adolescents, offering its   RESIDENCES, as a place of welcoming, to share and stimulate the integral development of the persons that come to them.  Based on a Christian IDENTITY   of the person, of the life and of the history,  they make up for the home creating  SPACE OF LIFE in which they try to create a family ambience of simple, sincere, intimate interpersonal relationships, help and respect. Where harmony and wellbeing of every group demands certain limitation of the liberty of its members and schedules for the intense periods of time, of living together, that are reflected in the RULES proper of each house.  The collaboration and the common good are proposed values and lived out day to day, making the Residence,  HOME and WORKSHOP that favors the human growth;  the social commitment and the progressive maturity in faith are the goals made wherein the youth may walk in the shadow of our foundress.
