Presentation People Expressing Mission & Charism
Nano knew God’s vision was more than she could accomplish alone. She forged bonds with like-hearted people who would walk beside her, work with her and help her to carry out the Mission she envisioned to help those in need. We invite you to share this vision in caring for one another and our Earth. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
Celebrating Latino Cultures
Caminando Juntos continues to welcome newly arrived Latino immigrants into our community. Many are coming from Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico, with a significant increase in those from Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia. Reasons vary, but some are fleeing repressive governments which deny human rights, others because of cartels and drug violence. Many come because of poverty and dire economic situations which make it nearly impossible to provide for their children and families. They are grateful for our services and what Sioux Falls has to offer. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
Laudato Si’ Restoration Project
As we begin year four of our Prairie Restoration Project on the land at Presentation Heights, we continue to discern and reflect on the words of Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’. We remain steadfast in our desire to enhance the property, bringing out more of its natural beauty to be shared with the Aberdeen community and region.
Our partnerships with other like-minded individuals and businesses provide us with hope. These partnerships have led us to work not only locally, but nationally, with others who share our vision. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
In Loving Memory
As we say farewell to our dear Sisters, we remember them with joy. While their time with us seems all too brief, they followed the path God laid for them, and God has taken their hand to lead them home. We lift up our hears for they received faith’s reward, the fullness of life with God. Sister Eileen Ford, Sister Janice Klein, Sister Janice Mengenhauser, Sister Consuelo Covarrubias
