The state of the Mission in the Southern Province is alive and well. The sense of being missionary in the tradition of Samuel Mazzuchelli strong colors the spirit of the sisters and associates in the province.
Members are aware that they work outside their own culture no matter where they are.
There are 22 sisters retired on mission. The retired sisters at the Mound and Villa number 35. As missionaries, Southern Province members call forth the gifts of the people whom they serve and encourage each person to participate in the work of peace and justice. In each section of the province the sisters and associates are aware that those who are educated to the value of participation of all people will best serve the needs of the Church and the whole world. The Mission of 'preaching of the Gospel to bring about a world of justice and peace' happens in a variety of creative ways within the province.
