Sisters of the Presentation of Mary

The Sisters of the Presentation of Mary (PM) are a religious congregation in the Latin Rite branch of the Catholic Church. It was founded in 1796 at Thueyts in the Ardèche department of south-central France, by Anne-Marie Rivier (1768–1838); originally, the congregation was devoted to the education of young girls.

The international motherhouse was permanently established at Bourg-Saint-Andéol, which is located in the Diocese of Viviers in the Rhône Valley, southern France. As of 2024, the sisters report 850 members ministering in 19 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America.
