Mission abroad

Germany

We raise our hearts in gratitude to God for we consider it as a sign of grace and divine providence that we are able to serve the Lord in the soil of Germany where our beloved Foundress born and brought up. Our sisters started services at Dortmund in Germany in the year 1987 and extended to Oelde, the native place of our holy Foundress in the Diocese of Munster, to the Dioceses of Fulda, Bruehl, and Koeln. Here, the sisters are taking care of the sick, old and mentally challenged and participate in the pastoral work. The main responsibility of our sisters in Germany is to serve the elderly people and prepare them for a peaceful death. Sisters go for the house visiting and they give necessary spiritual guidance and counseling to the people. So also our sisters make arrangements for the people to receive the Holy Sacraments and also lead them in prayers and thus help them to grow in faith. The sisters who are working for the mentally challenged are helping them to learn the daily living skills as well as acquire other skills according to their mental capacities.
