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.

Prison Ministry

In various parts of the world sisters work in gaols and detention centres accompanying people whose lives are broken in many ways. This work involves a good deal of listening, pastoral care to the prisoner, and often his or her family, providing opportunites for prayer, advocacy with authorities and preparation and support for release into the community.
