Thank you An Easter Reflection Ana Lisa de Jong

Living in these times of great uncertainty We dwell in possibility Faithful to the promise of the fullness of life.

Called to live as consecrated women, we strive to witness to joyful, reflective, compassionate service, constantly calling ourselves to be aware of, and where possible to help those who find themselves on the edge, forgotten and neglected.

We are sustained in our commitment by our contemplative practices, and our life and relationships in community.

Together with Presentation People everywhere, we continue to share in the dream of Nano Nagle (Founder of the Presentation Congregation) to:

Presentation Provincialate Acorn Centre Warrenmount Blackpitts Dublin D08 W2X8

Phone: 01 416 6010 Fax: 01 416 5787

And

The motto inscribed on the Nagle family’s coat of arms was ‘Not Words But Deeds’. Nano Nagle and the Presentation People who followed her example have always taken these words to heart. This motto can be said to sum up almost two hundred and fifty hundred years of active ministry and mission as Presentation Sisters spread across Ireland, and eventually to other parts of the world. Wherever the Sisters went, they responded in practical ways to address the needs of those kept poor. They continue this outreach today. Presentation Sisters are currently present in 24 countries.

We have changed the title of our Province Magazine to “Words & Deeds” which is rooted in this Nagle motto, as our Magazine is a place where ‘words’ are used to highlight and celebrate the ‘deeds’ of Presentation people in our Province and beyond.
