There are 37 sisters involved in religious education or some form of pastoral ministry. Thirteen sisters are engaged in some form of the care and 14 in social work. Some of our retired sisters are tutoring, raising funds, doing secretarial work, library, and other services. There are 36 associates in the province. Many are closely associated with the ministries of our sisters.
Associates also contribute to local community life.
This is especially true in areas where there are only one or two sisters. The regional meetings give the sisters an opportunity to support one another through shared values, common study and social gatherings. The sisters look forward to these meetings which are held once or twice a year. At our last province chapter we agreed on a process of consensus making which can be used on e-mail. This process was used to commit ourselves to a province stance on the death penalty.
