About Us

"Honoring the past, celebrating the present, embracing the future" proclaims our BVM Jubilee poster.

A distinct BVM spirituality grounds our mission and ministries, the fruit of a 175 year rich history. It is a spirit sown by Irish immigrant women, nurtured in the pioneer soil and spirit of the Midwest, and come to fruition in the lives and works of the nearly 5,000 women who have been daughters of Mary Frances Clarke.
