Socio-Pastoral Apostolate
Together with their engagement in school
education, the Sisters engaged in different services under the all-embracing
term, "work for the poor" - be that imparting the faith in the
hillsides of Albay or the shores of Maasin, visiting families in the slums of
Leveriza or administering basic medicine at St. Stephen's Patronage, feeding
the hungry or distributing clothing to the naked….
In 1975 the Manila Priory Chapter articulated
the "four-pronged thrust" of the Sisters' apostolate through a
socially-oriented education in its
institutions, health mainly through its hospital, the socio-pastoral
apostolate, and work for tribal minorities. Subsequent General Chapters and
Priory Chapters have identified priority needs of the times and of the place,
and possible responses by the Sisters and their lay partners -
