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 Julianne Brockamp, Therese Marie Hawes, Maura McCarthy, 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, Sister Beth Driscoll joined four other Presentation sisters to serve through St. Joseph Outreach Program in New Orleans, LA, in Tulane County, one of the poorest counties in the United States. Since the Katrina hurricane, their work consists of delivering food to the hungry and walking the streets in order to be a presence among the homeless and underserved.

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 her commitment to education, she ignites 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.
