TRANSCRIPT
From the deep roots of our story
to “Something New”
Collaboration
We, Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, rooted in God and in the Gospel, stand together and courageously commit ourselves to enter into the joys,
hopes, griefs, and anxieties of the people of this world.
We choose to be transformed by these questions:
How do the choices I make today/we make today affect persons who are in need in our time?
What choices must we make as we live out our commitment to God and God’s people?
"Individually, we are one drop.Together, we are an ocean."
- Ryunosuke Satoro
