Home What we do
What we do, where we are
We each go where the mission sends us: to the parish, to the school, to the fields. It is where we are that things begin. Here is what we do there, country by country.
Country by country
Each territory keeps its colour, as in the mission pages: blue in Switzerland, amber in Côte d’Ivoire, green in Guinea. Each one links to its chapter of the mission, which explains why the sisters are there.
Welcoming and visiting
Welcome at the Mother House, and visits to the elderly, the sick, the isolated and the bereaved.
Preparing for the sacraments
Sacramental preparation, liturgy, the school of prayer, and Church movements.
Teaching French, walking alongside
French classes for newcomers, support for pupils and for asylum seekers.
Serving the parish
Taking part in the pastoral teams and choirs of the parishes nearby.
Teaching and training

The boarding school in Bouaké
