Partner with a Sister to help support the children in her spiritual “family”
SPONSOR A SISTER TODAY
SERVING THE LORD WITH JOY!
Your sponsorship is an ongoing partnership helping the Sisters of Mary provide for the vulnerable children in their care. When you sign up to Sponsor a Sister by name your sponsorship will help the Sisters of Mary in their daily work. Your relationship will follow your selected Sister wherever she goes in the world to help.
The Sisters of Mary, uniquely, act as Mother-Sisters, caring for 30 to 50 children in spiritual “family” groups in six countries. Your prayers, encouragement, and financial support will aid the daily work of the Sisters of Mary in helping to transform lives.
Each year our Mother Sisters serve in different roles. Their motto is to “Serve the Lord with Joy” and that is what they do wherever they go. In accord with the wishes of their founder, Father Al, the Sisters often transition duties and countries, working wherever the Holy Spirit moves them. If you are interested in learning more about the guiding principles of the Sisters of Mary please read To Live Is Christ, the Sisters of Mary Book of Spirituality written by our founder, Father Aloysius Schwartz.
