The Missionary Sisters of the Assumption, largely made up of nuns from
Ireland, live in several areas in South Africa. They touch thousands of
lives year-after-year in some of the most economically depressed areas
of the globe. These nuns have selflessly pledged their lives to South African
communities, keeping the dignity and respect of those whom they serve at
the forefront of their ministry. Among countless other things, these incredible
nuns are responsible for:
-
Running Sacred Heart House – a South African safe house in Johannesburg
where they care for those dying of AIDS. These are people who have been
sent home from the hospital and in many cases, have been turned away by
their families.
-
Working as medical missionaries – delivering babies in the middle
of the night, tending to those dying in hospital beds, or visiting prisoners
on death row.
-
Educating the African community – visiting parishes and schools
to educate on the AIDS virus through their program EDUCATION FOR LIFE.
