2020-21 Anual Report
Contained in the pages of this Annual Report are stories of the areas of greatest need in the Congregation and how you came to our assistance to help us meet those needs. Thank you!
As our Mother Theodore reminds us: “God’s protecting hand has sustained us in so visible a manner that we cannot fail to see in it the attention of God’s Providence.” I hope you will see in so visible a manner throughout this entire publication how we seek to put your gifts in service to others. We, too, would like to lift the spirits of people everywhere.
Sister Dawn Tomaszewski, SP, General Superior, May 2022
