We are indeed sprung from that mustard seed. From the smallest of beginnings, we are growing and spreading our branches; providing in them, shelter and succour - a little bit of heaven - to all who come to us.

For over 7 decades since we began, the Poor Sisters of Our Lady have established 34 Houses: our apostolate covers schools, junior colleges, nurseries, polytechnic, training centres, homes for the aged, shelters for homeless girls and dispensaries. In addition, our sisters are sent out as nurses, parish helpers and also as Ministers of the Eucharist to the aged and disabled who live in their own homes.

From India, a land which was evangelised by European missionaries centuries ago, we now send our missionaries to Italy, Austria, Netherlands and Africa. Thus we are coming full circle : fulfilling the promise of a universal church and adding, in some measure, our contribution to the ever growing pool of grace.

There are many fragrant flowers in God’s garden and they blossom through their given charism. We look for those who would share these gifts with us so that we can continue to grow in His love and service.
