Welcome to our website, a lens which focuses on the pathways of our ministries and the journeys of our Sisters. These pathways are paved with love, mercy and compassion.
Since 1842, our Sisters have been the faces of love, mercy and compassion to the people of God in the United States, Belize, Central America; and Benin City, Nigeria; Africa. The Sisters have faithfully ministered in our schools, parishes, nursing home, prisons, and housing for the elderly.
