The Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament in Victoria recently joined other congregations worldwide to become an international order. Instead of the initials IWBS, they will now use the initials OVISS, representing the Latin words Ordo Verbi Incarnati et Sanctissimi Sacramenti. According to Sister Kathleen Goike, “We leave our identity as a ‘congregation’ with its limited relationships, and identify as an ‘order’ with its broader view originally designed by our foundress, Venerable Jeanne de Matel. We are currently referred to as the Victoria Delegation until January 2024 when we along with Corpus Christi, as well as Sisters in Chula Vista and El Centro, California, and Tijuana and Monterrey, Mexico will form a 'region' -- one of five in the Western Hemisphere.”CLICK HERE: ORDER OF THE INCARNATE WORD AND BLESSED SACRAMENT FACEBOOK LINK
