Sponsoring a specific Presentation sister in her ministry:

Many Presentation sisters have chosen the challenging opportunity of
ministering among the poor, but are often not compensated enough to
meet community needs. The ministry of many Presentation sisters are
totally or partially supported by your generous donations. You, partnering
with one of our sisters, can bring light to many places throughout the
United States and Bolivia.

Bolivia
Each year the people of Bolivia
suffer from hunger and disease
caused by poor sanitation and
living conditions. Sisters Rita Menart, Mery Cary Paz and Suzanne Takes brighten the lives of many Bolivians by engaging in education, housing initiatives and leadership programs. They work to shelter the homeless, heal the sick and
empower the weak.

 

New Orleans, LA
In 2005, Presentation Sisters from different congregations were missioned to New Orleans, LA, to serve in Tulane County, one of the poorest counties in the United States. Sister Mary Dennis Lentsch represents the Dubuque Presentation community. Since the Katrina hurricane, they have established "Lantern Light" ministries which offers a daily lunch program, groceries, clothing and hygiene assistance, identification and emergency
assistance.

 

Okolona, MS
A lack of education extinguishes dreams and
goals. In 1994, Sister Jean Ann Meyer was
assigned to serve as a teacher for the EXCEL
program in Okolona, MS. Her involvement in
the EXCEL program opens the door to
knowledge through educational services and
programs for children and their families.
Through their commitment to education, they ignite a light that burns forever in the
eyes of children.

 

 

 

Dubuque, IA
When a person has no means to
feed her family, it feels as though
she could be swallowed up by the
darkness of desperation. At the
Dubuque Community Food Pantry,
Sister Lynn Mary Wagner
strives to shed some light into this
darkness by distributing food and
supplies to the hungry. This ministry
provides a safety net of hope and
relief.
