"Every Catholic Christian is a missionary; everyone has the job of fighting for the spread of true faith. Those who are not yet aware of this profession, who do not bend their knees daily before God in prayer for the spread of faith and for the return of those separated from the Church of God to the knowledge of the truth, are not yet pervaded by that spirit of faith, which in the early times of Christianity filled all the members of the Church..."
(P. Eduard Michelis, September 1852, in: „Eduard Michelis: An image of his life and character“, Sister Petra Nettelbusch, S. 402)
This text reveals the missionary heart of Fr. Michelis. His desire to respond to God's call led him to found our congregation. The mission he dreamed of has been alive in our PROVINCE for 56 years. Gifts, talents, sufferings, hopes, joys, sharing, and the constant discernment of each sister since its foundation make us praise, worship, and thank the God of Providence, who always accompanies us.
Congratulation, Province! May God protect you and keep you in His hand!
Congratulation, Sister! You are part of this history!
Congratulation, Sister! You are continuing this history!
