WHO ARE WE?
and
WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?
We are a small group of dedicated women who live in a spirit of total trust in God's providential guidance.
Our Institute was formed over 300 years ago by Fr. Nicolas Barré Minim Friar.
He gave our community a simple rule of life.
Thus the early sisters were free to move and live close to the ordinary people and were not confined to the cloister.
Today our life style is still very similar to that of 300 years ago.
The active sisters continue to live and work in the community where there is a mission for them to fulfill.
We are special because of our mission.
By living out our mission, we are animated by "pure love".
This gift of God enables us to love Him and all people with complete disinterestedness.
We are creative and daring.
We will always try to prepare the way of the Lord and by doing so will enable the seed of believers to be sown and to spring up and develop.
Our prayer is that you will enjoy viewing the English/Irish website.
By Looking through the pages you will be on a journey where you will meet new companions.
If at any stage you would like to find out more about the Infant Jesus Sisters then you are warmly invited to take a look at our international website.

If when you have finished your little journey through the pages of our website you may feel inspired to help with one of our missions.
This can be done in several ways-

2. By becoming an IJ Volunteer.
Volunteers are always needed at the St Chad's project in Birmingham and at
the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre in London.
3. By becoming a benefactor and supporting one of the missions in England/Ireland.
4. Finally, you may be searching for a change in the direction of your life and wish to find out more about becoming a Sister of the Infant Jesus.
