From the first small convent in Thuine, a
world-wide Congregation has developed.
Mother M. Anselma sought the Will of God in
the many and varied works and needs of the
time. It is the special mission of the
Sisters of our Congregation to be simply
ready in obedience to God’s call. In the
spirit of true, faith-filled obedience to
the Church, our Sisters work among children,
youth, the aged, the sick, the poor, and the
needy of every condition.

Motherhouse for many daughterhouses.
