Ministry of Retired Sisters
"Prayer and Presence" is a special ministry for our sisters who are no longer able to participate in active ministry. This is a quiet, reflective time in the lives of our retired sisters when they are able to focus on their prayer life. Our sisters who have been active for all of their lives continue to remain aware of needs in today's world. Sisters also pray steadfastly on behalf of requests that come before them, whether for a sick child, an individual seeking employment, peace in violent neighborhoods or an end to war. Prayer is a central focus and an essential ministry for all School Sisters, especially our retired School Sisters.
