Let's share love and hope with our world ...
Our mission is carried out in the context of the local church, respecting the cultures, context and needs of the people.
As consecrated women, we discern the reality of these Churches in order to situate our presence and our service.
Thus, our vocation takes on meaning in a specific cultural and historical context, at the heart of the Church's mission.
The challenge for our province is to "read the signs of the times" and to respond to God's call, particularly in New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and the Philippines.
