Meet Sr. Ann Ita Walsh

Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit

Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit is an international congregation of 2,783 Sisters, living and working in 48 countries. The charism of their Congregation is evangelization; they are engaged in various activities that contribute to the spreading of the Good News. They are seeking prayers and financial support to continue their missionary outreach with the poor and the marginalized, especially women and children in St. Kitts, Jamaica, Antigua, and urban USA. Mission appeal donations will be used to benefit the people they serve through the following ministries:

Holy Spirit Catholic Preschool in Molineux, St. Kitts: Our Sisters opened this preschool in September 2011 to provide quality and Christian early childhood education ages 3 and 4. This is the only Catholic preschool in the entire twin-island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Education and socio-pastoral ministries in Morant Bay, St. Thomas, Jamaica: Our Province supports the local Catholic school with personnel, scholarships, and resources to develop the physical space and the curriculum. Our Sisters are also involved in social and pastoral work with impoverished women, the elderly, and the sick.

Education and socio-pastoral ministries in St. John’s, Antigua: Our Sisters engage in education ministry with the diocesan schools, Hispanic ministry, youth ministry, outreach to the poor, and prison ministry.

The Holy Spirit Life learning Center in Chicago, IL: Our center provides educational and skill-building programs to low-income income individuals, especially migrant women, and children. The Center also offers services to victims of domestic abuse and runs peace-building programs for children and adults.

Sr. Ann Ita Walsh will be at all liturgies next weekend to share with us her mission and how we can help support her important efforts.
