From its very beginning, the Congregation has been committed to responding to the needs of the times. The sisters devote themselves to the education of girls, especially the poor and marginalized, believing that educating a woman means educating a family and an entire generation. Through their ministry of healthcare, they reach out with compassion to the sick and suffering, offering healing and comfort. In evangelization and catechesis, they bring the light of the Gospel to the faithful, nurturing faith and strengthening Christian values. In the field of social service, they stand alongside the oppressed, empowering women through self-help initiatives, skill training, and community development.

Today, the Congregation is organized into Provinces and Regions — Lourdes, St. Joseph, Infant Jesus, Assisi, and Dupuis — and has spread beyond India to other parts of the world, carrying the same flame of love and service across cultures. Wherever they are, the FIHM sisters remain faithful to their founding vision: to be instruments of God’s love, channels of peace, and signs of hope. Their mission continues to echo the timeless call of Christ — to serve, to sanctify, and to uplift, especially women, so that society may be renewed in justice, harmony, and the spirit of the Gospel
