62 years ago, on 22 June 1961, Bishop Frederick Kaiser MSC, founded the Pious Union of the Missionary Sisters of Jesus, Word and Victim. Together with Mother Maria Wilibrordis MJVV. On the day of the foundation, six candidates were expected, but only one arrived. Bishop Federico took this as a sign from God, who wanted the congregation to be founded anyway, and so he did.

Bishop Frederick Kaiser calls Mother Wilibrordis his ideal co-foundress. When he asked her to found the Congregation, he received an immediate and active response: “Yes, Father. You are so old and I am so old, there is no need to wait any longer”. And from that moment on, she began to develop her programme: “They must be authentic religious. Religious 100×100. They must be silent like the Carthusians, they must pray like the Benedictines and they must atone like the Trappists”. “You know her, that’s Mother Wilibrordis”, said Bishop Frederick Kaiser, and he gave her 50% of the blame for the foundation.

In 1971, the foundation obtained diocesan right. In 1982, the Holy Father, Saint John Paul II, elevated the Congregation to pontifical right. At present, the missionaries are working in their missionary centres in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Cuba and Rome.
