The Americas

There is a lot movement of MMS from long-time ministries in other parts of the world to North America or from very active to less active lifestyles due to older age. All sisters and associates across the US follow the focus of being a healing presence at the heart of the community of life. This vision binds them together in their pluriform expressions in whatever context they find themselves: among indigenous in a reserve area in South Dakota, in a hospice, in suburbs of big cities among the poor and marginalised or in Philadelphia in a “green” compound where the sisters share life in a community of disabled people who have a low income. They all appreciate the collaboration with colleagues and co-workers, with like-minded people and especially with their Associates who also support the care for the sick and elderly sisters. Together with all, they contribute to the realisation of a more just and sustainable future.
