Orphaned\Abused Children

[roseofmary]

Hi Everybody,
I’ve been trying to find religious communities for women who’s main apostolate is helping orphaned\abused children. So far all I’ve find are the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Healing Love (who look just wonderful, and if any of you have met them or visited them I’d love to hear your stories) but do any of you know any communities that match that description?
Thanks!

Thank you for mentioning this order! This is the one that I am discerning with and I am VERY excited!

roseofmary, they are having a discernment retreat this next month from February 20-22. Here is a link to their retreat flyer:

Here’s the link to their homes for troubled children:

Sr. Immaculata is their vocation director and novice mistress, and she is SO nice! I highly recommend them. I am going to the retreat, too. When I talked to her, she mentioned their apostolate with troubled children. I hope you will check in to them further. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you! God bless!
