Goal of Program

In the Spirit of our Foundress Venerable Nano Nagle, we welcome women to come and share with us our Presentation Charism seeking to promote hope, justice, freedom, and human dignity to all we meet through our many and varied ministries. Presentation Sisters today bring a unique energy and dedication to the ministries of education, pastoral work, health care, and social services. Striving to deepen their relationship with God and grow in personal commitment to serve, volunteers will live and pray in community, and reflect on their ministerial service in light of Gospel values with Presentation Sisters and Associates.
