In our mission with the sick as Religious Nurses, we stand-up for quality care, moved out of love and compassion and with a sense of direction: to alleviate the pain and sufferings of the sick and lonely.  Focusing on a holistic approach, we take into consideration the patient’s physical, spiritual and emotional needs, regardless of their social status, race, religion or illness.

Many of our Sisters are registered, licensed vocational or certified nurses, or are training to become nurses in their future ministry.  Several are Eucharistic ministers, praying and offering words of consolation to their patients and family members in the uncertain moments of illness. 

The nursing program includes:

     .: Day and night service, preferably in the patient's own home
     .: Visiting nursing
     .: Hospital nursing
     .: Nursing in dispensaries and out-patient clinics
     .: Nursing in homes for chronic and convalescent patients
     .: Missionary work

When a Servant of Mary goes out to the bedside of the sick during the day or night, she reaches out to those who suffer, including their families, while not depriving them of the comfort of their home. When she enters their home, she is Mary’s servant who sees in them the image of the suffering Christ and is aware that it is Jesus she serves in the person of her patient, offering quality care and nursing abilities, but above all, the presence of God. In this way, the patients are able to discover Jesus in every Servant of Mary, visiting and healing the sick through the witness of her love.

The Servant of Mary is strengthened in her apostolic ministry by her intimate union with God through contemplative prayer, the Holy Eucharist, community life and her profound confidence in Mary.
