the sick, poor, and dying. Her main apostolate was meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of these suffering children of God by going to their homes and being by their bedsides.

As Women Religious and nurses, they worked in Spain during cholera epidemics and wars, and later in Mexico during revolutions.

Today, they have 128 convents in 20 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia as well as North, Central, and South America. They minister in six U.S. cities: Kansas City (New Orleans, New York City, Los Angeles, Oxnard and Newbury Park).

Although the majority of their work continues to be in patients’ homes, they also work in hospices, orphanages, hospitals, out-patient clinics, visiting nursing programs, dispensaries, skilled nursing facilities, and homes for chronic and convalescent patients. They make no distinction between social status, race, religion, or illness. They also serve as missionaries in Africa, South America and the Philippines.

More than 2,000 Sisters, who are contemplative in action, minister throughout the world. They have dedicated their lives to bringing love, compassion, and peace to others. They aren’t only witnesses of Christ to societies, but also see Christ in the people they serve. The Sisters’ Ministries is independent and receives no financial support from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The Sisters do not receive monetary compensation for their services.
