Welcome to our community
Rooted in faith and inspired by Mary, the first Christ-bearer, we are an international order of Catholic religious women who seek to reflect God’s love in all we do.
We share a life shaped by openness, hospitality, and a deep trust in the Holy Spirit. Together, we are committed to serving those in need, standing alongside the poor and vulnerable, and caring for creation as a precious gift entrusted to us all.
Our mission is lived in prayer, in community, and in action — wherever hope is needed and compassion can take root.
We warmly invite you to journey deeper with us, to discover our life, our work, and the mission that continues to guide and inspire us.
This short visual presentation offers a glimpse into how our lives touch the lives of those we serve – through prayer and presence, compassionate care, nurturing communities and supporting the spiritual needs of each person.
It reflects our mission lived out every day: being present to others, walking alongside them, and bringing God’s love into the ordinary moments of life.
Mother Magdalen’s words for today
November
Glimpses of Heaven
Month of the Holy Souls
Intention of the month: to invoke “that great cloud of witnesses” who have gone before us.
To remember
To give thanks
To look forward
The falling leaves at first appear reluctant to prise themselves free from their cocoon of closeness of their roots: such a move might prove too cold, too harsh, too final, it would seem...
Yet, in their death dance they play out the ever-changing pattern of life in its colour, its vibrancy, its joy – to show us what it is to die to one life and to open up the way to the possibility of another.
Falling leaves, so beautiful, so gentle,
Dancing their goodbyes to the earth;
Dancing their joyful recognition of a newer, better life:
a kaleidoscope of colour, of vibrancy, of possibility
for greater beauty, for more fulfilled hope –
myriad witnesses to him who said: “I have come
to bring you life, life in all its fullness.”
And they say to us: “We feel it now – that never-ending promise of eternal joy – it is ours, it will be yours!”
Amen! Amen! – the echo of the thousands upon thousands
watching the dance of life is heard in sound and colour
beyond our imagining...
Praise him!
