Social Apostolate
“We are called by God… and everyday He is calling us anew to collaborate in His work for the salvation of all His people… All over the world, people suffer from their lack of dignity as children of God” (Experience God in every day life Spirituality book).
The richness of our Charism impels us to respond to the crying needs of the time, through the message of God and the prophetic enterprises of our Founder Fr. Wilhelm Meyer. A life of true religiousness revolves around ‘a passion for Christ and a passion for humanity’. A radical commitment to the person of Christ by responding to the cries of the poor and the marginalized sections of the society is the clarion call and demand of Christ. We, the Sisters of St. Ann, march forth with a renewed sense of mission exploring possibilities of reaching out to the target groups at the margin of the society. Being in solidarity with the poor and working towards a just society, we empower them through radical and creative ministries, making maximum use of available resources in fulfilling the vision and mission of Jesus and our Founder.
