Our Ministries are Many and Varied

“Today the world cries out for Communion and Healing, Reconciliation and Peace. We are part of the Mission of the Church, sharing the joy, the pain and the suffering of our brothers and sisters wherever we are sent.” (taken from FMDM Mission Statement)

We are an international congregation and serve in 11 countries, both in the developed and developing world. Today our sisters live out their call to serve in many wide-ranging ministries including:

• pastoral care in hospitals, schools and universities
• education
• nursing
• prison ministry
• parish ministry
• aged care
• counselling and spiritual direction
• health care in bush missions
• caring for those afflicted with AIDS
• involvement in justice, peace and the care of the environment

In our personal and communal lives and in our ministries our Franciscan spirit calls and challenges us to be women of peace and justice, living in harmony with all our brothers and sisters and with the whole of creation.
