Who We Are

We share in Jesus' mission of bringing more abundant life to God's people, especially to those who are poor, by announcing the liberating message of the gospel and by the witness of our lives.

WELCOME to our website and to our home in Villa Maria, Pennsylvania!

We are a group of religious women dedicated to works of peacemaking, justice, and care for Earth through education, health care, social service, and pastoral ministry. We currently serve in Arizona, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, and in Haiti.

Spirituality

Mary's humility inspires us to lead simple lives, and her fidelity to God's Spirit challenges us to be a prophetic presence in the Church and in the world. Today we number 188 sisters whose lives of service are strengthened by dedication to prayer and contemplation. We look forward to a future of continuing commitment and service.

We invite you to explore our website and become involved through the many opportunities for membership and partnership with us.
