Who We Are

The Sisters standing on a paved walkway in front of a water feature with a waterfall, with a cityscape and greenery in the background.

Founded in 1977 by Mother Mary Josephine Mulligan and Fr. William Lloyd Ryan, the community was established to live the religious life faithfully and teach the Faith correctly and courageously. We are called to carry this out through the apostolates of catechesis and care of the elderly.
