Founded in the aftermath of the Nigerian civil war, our Congregation embodies love, unity, and forgiveness in a world torn apart by division. Our Founder envisioned a community where people from diverse tribes and backgrounds could live harmoniously, showcasing the possibility of unity in diversity.
As consecrated African women, we strive to integrate the good, true, and beautiful aspects of our culture into our lives. Our deep relationship with God is nurtured through community and individual prayer, inspired by our devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This spiritual foundation enables us to support one another in our various ministries and celebrate our unique gifts.
We believe in treating all people with dignity and respect, regardless of their religion, class, tribe, or culture. Our communities are places of hospitality, where everyone feels accepted and valued.
Our Charism: Redemptive Love through Unity, Peace, and Reconciliation
Our Motto: Ut Unum Sint – That They May Be One (John 17:21)
Our Greeting: In Jesus, We Are One!
This greeting serves as a constant reminder of our identity and mission, inspiring us to live out our charism and motto in our daily lives.
