Wherever the Sisters live
they are involved in their local
parishes and communities in pastoral care and catechetical
work. Many also take part in particular ministries such as prison
chaplaincy, school and university chaplaincy, work with the
homeless, refugees, asylum seekers, vulnerable women and
others in need.

Our service of the poor assumes many expressions.
Sisters work not only in SMG institutions but collaborate
with many other groups who seek to meet the needs of
the wider community.
Examples of collaborative projects in which SMGs are involved include:-

opportunity for self sufficiency through education,
employment and outreach for the people of the Navajo
Reservation.
