In our communities today, we seek to continue the work of making the world one, and of being agents of healing and wholeness, in the spirit of Mary, the mother of the Lord, and that of our founder.

Though our numbers in this region are small, we are proud to continue to work set out for us to do as women religious within the tradition of the Catholic Church, and as Sisters of the Little Company of Mary.

Today our sisters work in hospitals, in pastoral care, in ministry to the aged in their own homes, in parish ministries, and in pastoral education. We are to be found working as St. Joseph District Nurses, in the Sue Ryder home for the terminally ill, as hospital chaplains in the  St. John of God General Hospital, Nursing in the American Hospital Rome, and engaged in parish work in our “local” parish of San Stefano.

Leaven in the society in which we live, our lives and values are  words of witness to the mission of Jesus to “love one another as I have loved you”, and, following Mary’s injunction to “do whatever He tells you”, we follow the call of the spirit to serve the needs of the world. 

As well as our active ministry, we are focused by our ministry of prayer for the dying of the world. If you would like to know more of our apostolate of prayer for the dying, click here to join us in this fundamental call to care for the dying of the world.

A vocation to the life of an apostolic religious  is a strange thing. It is a call to listen to the voice of God in the heart of humanity. 

Our life, at once deeply contemplative and yet essentially active calls for a generous spirit.
