The IHM Congregation is a community of Catholic women religious who have been serving the needs of people throughout the country and abroad since 1845, and particularly in northeast Pennsylvania since 1858. The IHM Center is located on beautiful, spacious grounds that are adjacent to the Marywood University campus. The newly renovated Theresa Maxis Conference Center has a range of services that can help facilitate your meeting, workshop, conference or retreat day. A range of options is available for breaks and meals. A number of hotels are available in the area for groups planning to meet for more than one day.
Every effort is made to meet the specific needs of each group.
The Theresa Maxis Conference Center staff is available to help you plan your event so that your time with us will be enjoyable and productive. Upon request, we will provide you with a complete information packet with all services and costs described. We reserve the right to offer the use of our facilities to those whose philosophies agree with our mission and purpose. The mission of the Theresa Maxis Conference Center is to provide a space for education, reflection and dialogue. We offer our resources for use by organizations whose purpose is compatible with the mission and may extend the values of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary who own and operate the center.
