Global Presence

Always keeping in mind our priority to the cause of the poor and the needy in rural areas. In India, East Africa and Congo-Cameroon we run our own hospitals, health care centres and dispensaries. In Peru, our Sisters are working in a diocesan Polyclinic and hospital. In Colombia, we have a very reputed reflexology centre.
