Individual Ministry Highlights

INDIVIDUAL MINISTRIES

We each have individual passions that lead into many other ministries.

From Hospice care to drug and alcohol treatment,

to advocating for human rights, we find time to serve

God through our individual work. Here are some

highlights:

EDUCATION

We Sisters have been proud educators for hundreds of years, even before we came to the United States. While many of us are retired, some still teach full or part time. Sister Mary Ann Zimmer is a current faculty member at Marywood University in Pennsylvania where she teaches religious studies.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN GUATEMALA

Sisters have been traveling to Guatemala for decades working health and community projects. One major focus in Guatemala is to help with clean drinking water. In fact, Sister Mary Kay Meagher frequently travels to Guatemala. Sisters who can no longer travel still support through prayer, or sending items from hygiene supplies to homemade dresses.

ADVOCACY

We have always been risk takers, in fact, it’s written into our vows. Did you know that we, along with the Servants of Mary and Mercy Sisters, all hold signs as a witness to the mothers and children separated from their families at the border? Every Thursday since June some of us have stood during rush hour to advocate for humane treatment of people crossing our borders.
