We Almost Have the World Covered!
This graphic shows in which countries in the world the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Society of the Sacred Heart are present. In some countries there are sisters of only one of the two congregations, while in other countries both groups have a presence. Although each of the two congregations is a separate NGO in relationship with the United Nations, we have formed a partnership to live out and operationalize the work in a common UN-NGO Office. We hope that our partnership will grow on the local level, especially in those countries where both RSCJ and IBVM are present.
