Vol. XXXVIII, No. 12 USA–OCT 2015
This month we pray for the missionaries around the world and we remember the call to carry our missionary commitment. As a Congregation, our mission began 125 years ago with the aim to share God’s love. Wherever our service is needed, we are always open to new ways of responding to the needs of the people in the world today.
Our founder and co-foundresses were passionate about mission. Seven years after the beginning of our Congregation, they sent missionaries to Argentina and twelve years later to the United States! The same missionary passion still burns in our hearts. We, Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters, are present in 51 countries! With grateful hearts, we remember all SSpS missionaries. Even though beginnings were not easy (with forty-seven cents), our Sisters in the USA had great confidence and faith that God was guiding them in missionary service. In our Paraclete Province, we are very blessed to have Sisters from nineteen countries sharing life and mission in our nine international communities. Thank you for your courage and generosity to embrace missionary service. Thank you for your passion for Christ visible in your service to God’s people. Sr. Monica Mabel, SSpS
