5. Social Ministry

 

The women of Papua New Guinea (PNG) endure some of the most extreme levels of violence in the world. They continue to be attacked with impunity despite their government’s promises of justice. The situation has been described as a humanitarian disaster yet still does not receive the broader public attention it deserves, inside or outside PNG. It is also a significant obstacle to PNG’s development and prosperity.

Our sisters provide shelter and support for the women of Papua New Guinea in their area.


Mission Statement

We commit ourselves by profession of vows to:

  • Manifest God’s universal compassion through inclusive non-dominating relationships of love.
  • Trust in God’s Providence and live in a manner that affirms the right of all to a just share of the earth’s resources.
  • Discern together the voice of the Spirit that has called us to be one in our diversity.

In the spirit of Francis, Clare, and Elizabeth Hayes, we promote ever-widening circles of communion as we:

  • Open ourselves to a life of continued conversion in response to the call of the Gospel.
  • Identify with the victim, the poor and the marginalized in seeking a peace built on justice.
  • Reverence creation, acknowledging the right of all God’s creatures to enjoy its blessings.
  • Address the need within ourselves for repentance, forgiveness and healing while promoting a message of reconciliation.
