What is the internationality of the Medical Mission Sisters?
Internationality is part of our heritage as members of the Medical Mission Sisters. As we discover the intrinsic unity and harmony which lie at the heart of all life, we have a view of our world which is broader than the perspective of any one nation. Our interconnectedness leads us to create ways of linking and networking among ourselves and with others. Our “First Four” members in 1925 were of three different nationalities. Today our 650 Sisters come from a total of 23 nations. We now serve in 19 nations such as Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Malawi in Africa; India, Pakistan, Indonesia, and The Philippines in Asia; England, The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Italy in Europe; United States and Mexico in North America; and Venezuela, Peru, and Brazil in Latin America.
