About Us

About Us

Our Mission

We are a vowed faith community who share the mission of Jesus. Inspired by our foundress, Nano Nagle, we willingly go forth to any part of the world to work for justice, alleviate oppression and promote human dignity, especially among the poor. We proclaim the Good News with missionary zeal, in a spirit of love and joy.

Our mission guides our ministry and underlines our spirituality. Our focus on promoting justice and alleviating oppression helps us to determine which of the many needs of God's people we might best be able to meet through our ministry efforts. This guidance is essential as we minister to those in need all over the world.

Charism

We are called by God whose love empowers us
to respond as a faith community.

Consecrated by God and inspired by the love and zeal of Nano Nagle, we live together the evangelical counsels and share in God's mission by alleviating oppression and promoting human dignity in God's people through prayer and apostolic service.

Webster's Unabridged Dictionary defines charism as a miraculously given power. The miraculous and God-given gift of the power to love, care for our neighbors, stand for what is right and just, and serve in the image of Jesus drives our mission.

Our Logo

The cross is the foundation of our logo. Taking up the cross of Christ is a mark of the Christian disciple. Our mission is grounded in our personal relationship with Christ, nurtured through personal and communal prayer. The particular shape of this cross, a design distinctive among the 3000 Presentation Sisters throughout the world, has a joyous dignity reminiscent of resurrected life. Within the cross are figures representing two Presentation Sisters, inclined forward, eager for mission and grounded by the spirituality of the risen Christ. The two figures highlight our apostolic spirituality of being sent out to serve.
