GETTING TO KNOW YOU

The Daughters of the Immaculata is a religious community of women founded on the Kolbean charism of Auschwitz and is lived out within the framework of the Militia Immaculata.

True to our name and Auschwitz charism, we pledge our lives, our possessions and all our good actions to Mary Immaculate.  We live lives of self-sacrifice, love for God and neighbor.

Formation consists of a 1 year postulancy program in which single Catholic women can come and live our life of work and prayer which involves a limited commitment to the community and 1 year novitiate at which time one becomes a member of the community. After this period vows are professed on an annual, temporary basis. After
3-5 years, perpetual final vows are professed.

We wear religious garb in order to make public our witness to Jesus Christ and we take religious names, bringing to the world an orthodoxy which has disappeared in many places over the last 4 decades. We are totally in communion with Rome and ALL the doctrines the Roman Catholic Church teaches in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Our Sisters adore before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament each day. Prayer furnishes the basis and strength for all of our other activities.  We work in various aspects of the apostolate of spreading devotion to Mary Immaculate, St. Maximilian Kolbe and the Militia Immaculata.  We assist in various apostolates at Marytown, the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe in Libertyville, IL.  We have a special empasis on combatting the enemies of the Catholic Church.  This is demonstrated in prayer groups which bring the People of God together to pray and actively work toward the victory of Christ, and in using modern media techniques to evangelize..  We also pray daily for priests, knowing they are special targets of the Enemy.

Because we are a new community and in the process of seeking diocesan approval, our candidates and members must be women of strong pioneering spirit and great flexibility!  This is new ground and a true challenge, though immensely exciting and rewarding to those who can contribute their talents and efforts.

Single Catholic women seeking to follow Christ in a commitment to prayer, humility, and joy, and who want to win souls for the Sacred Heart of Jesus through His Immaculate Mother are encouraged to contact us at the address or e-mail below.
