The Mission Appeal:
The Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Malvern, PA has ministries in both North and South America. Our primary apostolate is education and especially Religious education at all ages. In addition to schools PK through university, we have missions in Peru. While there are private schools, these schools in turn support several schools and outreach to the very poor in the cities and the mountains. Many of these children have little or no food, clothing or shelter and they lack education.
The Sisters working with additional lay teachers feed and clothe the children, teaching then English and basic skills, and help to prepare them in their Catholic faith and to receive the sacraments. Travel s difficult and the needs of these children and their families are great. The donations received will benefit the physical and spiritual needs of those who are so poor.
Please watch the video of our 100th anniversary. The first 15 minutes is our history, followed by the Mass that was celebrated.
Thank you again for all your support.
