Works

From simple beginnings in education the Brigidine Sisters are engaged in an ever-widening circle of works which address the needs of the times. Foundational to this is the commitment to the transforming mission of Jesus wherein we are co-workers in promoting values, attitudes and conditions which contribute to the building of a more just society.

Education

For almost two hundred years the belief that education has a fundamental role to play in spiritual, personal, social and intellectual development has engaged the imagination and energy of Brigidine women. This has led to involvement in all levels of education, both in teaching and in administration - primary, secondary, tertiary, adult - in the countries in which we work. Others work in home-school liaison roles. The focus on educating in faith and building strong learning communities is seen as a powerful means of social transformation whereby the ideals of peace, freedom and social justice are promoted.
