Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary are a Roman Catholic religious congregation.

Their founder, Jurgis Matulaitis, had designated its mission to be service to the poor and needy and it took on charitable, educational, health care and various other religious ministries seeking out the less fortunate.

In 1990 when Lithuania won its struggle for independence and the church was again able to function freely, the congregation was re-established and its mission renewed and expanded with the help of the community in the USA.

In 1980 a new provincial house and spiritual renewal center was built in Putnam and is now functioning along with parish missions and youth ministry in Lemont, Illinois and Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

A large modern Nursing Home was built nearby our provincial house and named after their founder, George Matulaitis, who was gifted with special compassion for the sick and disabled.
