The Jesus and Mary Mission Society
For some reason, the term "Mission Society" is used a lot in this type of context. Also, it seems very normal that any organization with international aspirations could want its name translated. Any of us translators could think of dozens!!

: personally, I would use the translation throughout the text... I usually put the original name in brackets afterwards, the first time the name is mentioned. I think this helps to bring the text "closer" to the English-speaking reader.

Por lo general, en Inglés a la "obra misionera" le dicen simplemente "Missions". Así que la oración podría quedar:
Jesus and Mary Missions.
Jesus and Mary Missions.
