The mission of the Medical Mission Sisters echoes in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. One of the goals, to be achieved by 2030, is to end poverty. Understanding that economic poverty is a contributor to poverty of spirit, Associate Sr. Selena Wilson, OP, and Medical Mission Sister Lucy Klein-Gebbinck have chosen to live as a ministry of presence in Camden, NJ. Camden is the poorest big city of its size in the U.S.

Congratulations to Sister Miriam Paul Klaus, who made a recent trip overseas to commemorate 25 years of the presence of Teen STAR (Sexuality Teaching in the Context of Adult Responsibility) in Slovakia. With the help of a few colleagues, Sister founded the program in 1980 to help adolescents gain a sense of “ownership of their bodies” by educating them about their fertility patterns and the consequences of engaging in intercourse prematurely. Teen STAR is now present in 35 countries around the world.
