Where We Are Today
Along our journey, we have sought to be faithful to Mother Francis’ goal of serving the people of God wherever a need existed. Today our sisters minister in the United States in approximately 15 states as well as in Ireland and Africa. We serve in a variety of ministries and settings: prayer ministry; health care; education at all levels; parish and diocesan ministry; spiritual and pastoral care; service to the elderly, the homeless, the poor, persons with AIDS, and immigrants and refugees; counseling; advocacy; and leadership in national religious organizations.
