This year’s Ministry Appeal celebrates the lives and ministries of Sisters Barbara O’Neill and Annette St-Amour.
Some ministries span continents. Others unfold in the quiet, sacred rhythm of daily prayer. Yet whether walking alongside catechists in rural South Africa, carefully preparing the liturgy that gathers a community before God or accompanying a colleague taking their first steps into the Catholic Church, the heart of the mission remains the same: to meet people where they are and walk with them toward God.
For Sister Barbara, that journey has been shaped by a lifelong love of liturgy and its quiet power to weave Scripture, prayer and community into something transformative. For Sister Annette, it has carried her across oceans and decades, forming faith in others wherever she was called. Their stories, so different in setting yet so alike in spirit, are a testament to that enduring mission and to the generous support that makes it possible.
Your support sustains the IHM Sisters as they minister to those most in need — serving communities across ten states, Puerto Rico and Mexico, and partnering with organizations and religious orders to bring hope wherever we are called.
