Le Sorelle di Maria Immacolata

We are the Sisters of Mary Immaculate founded 2002 in Sri Lanka by his Excellence Rev. Dr. Oswald Gomis together with Rev. Sr. Amatha Senanayaka. The community is conceived as an instrument and a means offered to all souls of good will who wish to respond to the universal call to sanctity solemnly proclaimed by the Second Vatican Council in the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium.  It seeks especially to bring its members to a more lively awareness and a fuller realization of the mystery of their adoption as sons of God, in a more intimate union with Christ.  We live with full awareness and humility, faith, hope and charity in the life of everyday, in every condition, in every circumstances of life at every age.  The Sisters are inspired by the Spirituality of love as Jesus who walked around Galilee by doing good.  It means to open itself, in the spirit of true ecumenism, to the understanding, respect and love of the authentic religious values of all peoples and all culture.  The Sisters of Mary Immaculate is a Community of the faithful which, by means of a triple consecration to the Divine Word, the Virgin Mother Mary and the Church, gather together who live in the world.  The community commits its own member to live in the world the mystery of adoption son ship of God in the perfection charity.  The Community's ideal is to renew for today the miracle of the early Church.  Our main goal is to develop the humanism  through education.

The care value of our apostolate has always been the dignity and humanity of each person.  How this is expressed has evolved over time with our greater understanding of the rights o all people with the changing hopes and expectations of the individuals and families with whom we work with growing expertise of all association with our apostolate.

As our Apostolate is now at a time of development with new challenges and opportunities to be worked on, it is helpful to review the principles that underline our work.  Here are growing expectations as to our range type and quality of the apostolate we offer.  In evaluating our present work and in planning for the future we need to be clear about the values that motivate us and be able to share them with others. In making this renewed statement, we continue our tradition of being open to the best contemporary influences.  We want to be inspired by the most creative ideas emerging in our services throughout the world and to ask how we can give them concrete expression.  We draw on current Sisters of Mary Immaculate Literature and on a wide range of national and international statements of rights and standards reading the lives of children and the services that will support them.  

We are deeply conscious of the many gaps between his value and vision statement and our achievements may cause frustration and hurt at time.  The tension between our ideals and reality, urges us to improve continuously the quality of our apostolate.  This statement will be effective to the degree in which it affirms our present work while challenging us to bridge the gaps between what we say we believe and what we actually do.  We will remain responsive to all the people associated in whatever way with the Sisters of Mary Immaculate.  The greatest hope of our apostolate is to create a positive mind in a child.  Not like an object but like a subject let to grow them independently by conduct them in their way.
