Catholic Sisters are alive and well and serving God by serving others in the St. Louis, Missouri area since the nineteenth century. Women religious continue to play vital roles in the history and development of our nation, our local community, and our society. We have not only taught in schools and ministered in hospitals; we have founded, funded and run those institutions. Above all, we continue to show our devotion to God through our willingness to serve.
Welcome the Stranger
Rooted in the gospel call to welcome the stranger, Catholic sisters in the St. Louis area stand in solidarity with our immigrant and refugee brothers and sisters.
