The Congregation of the Religious of the Virgin Mary (RVM Sisters) was founded in 1684 by Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo, a Filipino in Manila, Philippines. At the age of 21, her parents wanted her to marry but her heart was not for the married state. She sought help from her confessor, Father Paul Klein, S.J., who advised her to go into the Spiritual Exercises to discern God’s will for her. In this retreat she decided to “serve His Divine Majesty” living “by the sweat of her brow.”

Inspired by the universality of the spirit of Mother Ignacia and responding to the call for renewal by the whole church, the Congregation of the Religious of the Virgin Mary long desired to share the RVM charism and ministry with associates. The 18th Ordinary General Chapter in 2006 formally decided to open its door for the laity. Diocesan Priests who have worked closely with the RVM Sisters in their ministries also expressed their desire to be associated with the Congregation.

The RVM Associates are clerics and laity who are associated with the Congregation of the Religious of the Virgin Mary by living her spirituality and participating in her ministries.

Any body who is interested in the RVM Associates may visit the Congregation’s web site : rvmonline.net

Or please write to me. Thank you and God bless.

Hello Grace!

The Sisters are also in California and New Jersey. Just let me know if you want to contact them in the future. I will be happy to help give you their address. God bless.

I have never met any in person, but I am familiar with them.

And even thought I have never met any in person, I would jump at the chance to visit one of their convents for one simple reason: It is a well known secret that Filipino women are the best cooks, and everyone I have ever met refuses to let you go unfed! And the food, let me tell ya: AMAZING!

Do not EVER tell a Filipino woman you are a little hungry unless you are prepared to eat a full meal! If you are not prepared to eat a full meal, you are in trouble, because you will be eating one anyway.

I love em. If there were any good sisters near me, I would be volunteering there (around lunch or dinner) often!

The RVMs are on my list to always pray for. Everyone I have known who has had contact with them, loves them.

Wow !! The RVM Congregation is truly blessed with many vocations !! It is seldom you hear of a religious community getting good number of vocations. The RVM is indeed an exception. It maybe because this community continue to teach the Right doctrines and live in community, wearing religious garb and minister to the poor. They are a blessing to the Catholic Church !!

FYI: Mother Ignacia was declared Venerable by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI on July 6, 2007. She is now Venerable Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo.

I live in Lipa, Batangas,w hich is almost 2- 3 hours away from Caloocan City. Anyway, I may try maybe this April or May. Is it something connected with the healing water? I know of a sister who uses water to heal. My help went there and she said, she felt so warm inside.

Sister Raquel has been featured on TV’s, Radios and news papers. She has been traveling throughout the world to conduct healing. Here is the site: www.motherignaciahealingministry.com
