Social Services

Today Loreto Sisters and their colleagues are actively involved in planning, providing, advocating for and funding welfare and social services.

2015-02-03 at 11-03-46Some Loreto Sisters work as chaplains or in educational support with young offenders and other groups in prison such as Elisabeth Keane ibvm. Sr Elisabeth has been visiting the Numinbah Correctional Centre for women in the Gold Coast Hinterland each week since 2000. The compassionate presence of volunteers who choose to stand with these people, who are often “out of sight and out of mind”, continues the commitment of Jesus to be with those living on the margins.

As members of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, an international and multicultural congregation of women religious, we pledge to work for the eradication of all forms of human trafficking and its causes, particularly among women and children, wherever we live and minister.
