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.

The members ought to have a very special gratitude that they are called to that Order, for they know that their call must have been a very special and marked one...
