Peace & Justice

"Let Justice roll down like water, And righteousness like an overflowing stream."
Amos 5

In the Spirit of Nano Nagle, our foundress,
and the many Presentation sisters in whose footsteps we follow
we believe we are called
to respond to need with its demands for practicality,
commonsense and hard work
in daily service of human need
direct service among the poor and disadvantaged;
action which empowers them to help themselves;
action which challenges oppressive structures and exploits the poor, the voiceless
