WHO WE ARE
 

OUR IDENTITY  

Gathered because of Jesus Christ
we form, in the Holy Spirit,
a community of fraternal and apostolic Life.
  Rule of Life


The Sisters of the Presentation of Mary
are called to live in a state of worship and self-oblation
and to participate in the teaching mission of the Church
by the Christian education of youth
with special attention to the poor and the destitute.

  Rule of Life


The spirit of the Presentation of Mary
is a wholly interior spirit
based on the spirit of Jesus Christ.
To know Jesus Christ in the Gospel,
to live Jesus Christ in his mysteries,
to reveal and to teach Jesus Christ
by our whole life:  such is our vocation.

  Rule of Life

Two mysteries enraptured our Foundress and inspired the spirituality she left us:
the mystery of the Temple or the presence of God
and the mystery of Christ's and Mary's oblation.

  Rule of Life
 

More on Spirituality      


Faithful to the intentions of our Foundress,
blessed Marie Rivier, the "Woman Apostle"
we share in the teaching mission of the Church
by the  Christian education of youth.
We go preferably toward those who are little and poor
whom Christ loved above all.
His compassion also impels us to help
the most needy persons of our society.

Our apostolic zeal knows neither frontiers, nor race, nor nations.
Missionary ardor must dwell at the heart of the Congregation.


Everywhere and at all times, we are presence of Jesus Christ,
annunciation of the Gospel of Mercy.
