Consecrated to Mary
At Immaculate Heart of Mary School, our Blessed Mother is uniquely special to us. She is our patroness and our perfect role model in faith. She guides us as the first and best disciple of Jesus.
Striving to be like her in how we lead, learn, and serve as disciples of Christ, we consecrate ourselves to Our Lady in a unique way. IHM School has six prayer partner groups each dedicated to six Marian apparitions. Prayer partners strengthen our school community, deepen our faith, and inspire us to grow closer to Jesus through our Heavenly Mother, Mary.
