Voice of Leadership
And God said, “It is good.” As women of faith, we begin from this point, where we sing praises for God’s creation and the mystery of each person on this planet. All are imbued with the divine imprint. In the beginning all were in right relationship, in harmony with one another. Unfortunately, this original bliss ruptured the world with greed and selfishness. God, however, continues to call us to conversion again and again, to have a change of mind, heart and action to care for all members of the Body of Christ and creation. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
Prayer Mission Charism
Prayer is an essential element in our daily lives; an opportunity to express and share our Presentation Mission.
Over 300 years ago Nano Nagle laid the foundation for our congregation. Through all of her work, Nano would take time for prayer. It was God’s love and strength that filled her spirit and her being as she accompanied those in need. In her spirit, we strive to incarnate this same compassion and justice of Jesus, so our neighbors, local and globally, might live with hope. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

We are grateful to the donors listed in this annual report, as well as the individuals who prefer to remain anonymous, for their partnership over the past year.

Caminando Juntos
Caminando Juntos responds to the Gospel mandate to “welcome the stranger.” Through this work for justice, our team walks together with newly arrived Latino immigrants as they seek to integrate into a new culture and make a home in area communities.
Of the various Latino migrants who come to Caminando Juntos for assistance, the women and children have some of the most difficult stories. We have found that listening is the simplest, yet most genuine, form of welcome. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
Catholic School Scholarship
Education is a formational element in each of our ministries. Through the power of education we can shape the world. For over 100 years, our Sisters served as teachers and administrators in over 50 parish schools, modeling compassion and kindness to thousands of students.
Adapting to meet the needs of those we serve, our areas of ministry have shifted, and we are no longer teaching at the elementary and secondary level in Catholic schools. However, our commitment to Catholic education remains strong. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
Good Samaritan Ministry
Our Good Samaritan Ministry was established over 50 years ago, providing guidance and support to those who may need temporary assistance when they have come upon difficult times. It has helped to fill the gap in basic needs when our neighbors need help the most, providing hope for a new beginning. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

Justice is Our Work
When we say “justice is our work,” we mean “our” in an expansive and far-reaching sense. Not only do we partner with local organizations, but we also partner with other Presentation Sisters and Presentation People worldwide. We welcome the stranger among us so that we might hear and address the needs of all God’s people. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
Vocation Outreach Ministry
Vocational calls can lead one to marriage, single life, priesthood or religious life. But how does one know if this is the right path to which God is calling them? Spending time in prayerful discernment is one way an individual may seek answers. They may also seek the advice of family or friends, talk to a member of the clergy or oftentimes they turn to social media in search of that deeper connection in life. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
Mission Development Message
Dear Friends,
Who then shall we be? This question was posed at a recent gathering for the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR). It is one that is being asked and discerned all over the world as we navigate mystery in the unfolding future. We know women are still being called to religious life, but not in the numbers they once were. With this shift, our lay partners are being called to leadership in new ways, working alongside the Sisters in addressing the growing needs of our world today. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
