Take Part in our 150th Celebration: Tell Us Your Story. This summer, the Sisters of the Humility of Mary will celebrate 150 years in the United States, remembering and honoring the sacrifice and bravery of the early sisters who left France to come to America to continue their mission of bringing abundant life to those around them. As part of the 150th anniversary, the sisters plan to create a Litany of Thanksgiving of all those who have been blessed with an association to the sisters. If you have a story and/or memory of the sisters for which you are grateful, email it to hm150@humilityofmary.org. Deadline for all submissions is April 1.
