Family Support Centers and Clinics

Mary, Joseph and Jesus as a family experienced heart aches, challenges and joys just like families today.  They were refugees; experienced homelessness and displacement, loss, grief, new starts and so on.  Today the gifts of sisters are needed to support families at risk.  As a sister, you can use your gifts and talents, as communities of sisters have for centuries, in reaching out to support the physical and social needs of families.  Imagine the impact you will have on the lives of families with limited resources by sharing your gifts in building God’s kingdom, providing love, ministerial support and empowerment to struggling families in need.  Can you imagine yourself serving God and others in some of these ministries?
