SIYAKWEMUKELA!

As the cradle of our Congregation, South Africa is the only country where we have two provinces,
Mariannhill
Provincial Superior
Sr Mary Mary Helen GumedeMariannhill and Eastern Cape, with a total of 174 Sisters.

Abbot Francis started our Congregation when he saw the great need
of education for women and girls. From the time of our foundation
in 1885 education, pastoral and medical work have been our main focus.
Even today we are still greatly involved in education, health, social and pastoral ministries.
Eastern Cape
