100 Years Of Healing Presence Around The World
A MOMENT TO REMEMBER: 80 YEARS OF THE UNITED NATIONS & 25 YEARS OF MMS AT ECOSOC
As Medical Mission Sisters celebrate the Society's 100th year of foundation, we mark two other milestones in our shared journey: the 80th anniversary of the United Nations and the 25th anniversary of MMS’ consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). These anniversaries invite us to pause, reflect, and strengthen global solidarity, prophetic presence, and the transformative power of religious women working for a more just, peaceful, and dignified world. You can visit the UN 80th anniversary | United Nations website to explore how this milestone is being commemorated.

We invite you to celebrate the Society's Centenary anniversary by watching the trailer to our new film, Fire and Flame – 100 Years of Healing Presence – Medical Mission Sisters
Made by Loyola Productions Munich to celebrate our Centenary year, the Society's new film, which was launched in May 2025, is inspired by the words of our Austrian founder, Dr Anna Dengel: “I was passionate (fire and flame) about becoming a missionary with a clear goal in mind. I was determined to become a missionary doctor and do something that only women can do for women in need."
The full version of the film is below.
This is the full version of our newly launched documentary film, Fire and Flame - 100 Years of Healing Presence - Medical Mission Sisters
The film is nearly 30 minutes long.
We hope you enjoy it and, if you do, please don't forget to tell your friends and family to watch it as well and help to spread the word about what we do.
We look forward to your ongoing support!
