Celebrating Catholic Sisters Week

Throughout the week we are posting on our Presentation social media sites across the United States in honor of Catholic Sisters Week. We thank Union: United States communicator Emily Lucas for creating the content for our congregations!

Sunday, March 8
Catholic Sisters Week begins today! Catholic Sisters Week is a time to celebrate the courage, faith, and dedication of women religious.
As Presentation Sisters, we are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the gift of religious life and the mission we share in the spirit of Nano Nagle. Throughout this week, we invite you to journey with us—learn more about who we are, what we do, and the communities we serve.
Follow along and discover the heart of the Presentation Sisters. ✨


Monday, March 9
During Catholic Sisters week we also celebrate 250 years of our Presentation Sisters!
In this video, we reflect on the courage and faith of our foundress, Nano Nagle, and the beginnings of the Presentation Sisters in 1775. From a small lantern-lit ministry in Ireland to a global mission of education, justice, and compassion, her light continues to shine through each generation.
We invite you to watch, celebrate, give thanks, and help us reach our 250 goals as we honor 250 years of faith in action.
Follow along all week as we continue sharing our story. ✨

“As Presentation Sisters we challenge ourselves to use whatever gifts we have to help the community we are in, collaborate with others, and be the people we are called to be.” – Sister Vera, Union USA
Each of us is gifted uniquely — and together, those gifts become a mission of service, collaboration, and compassion. Inspired by the spirit of Nano Nagle, we continue to respond to the needs of our communities with open hearts.
How are you being called to share your gifts today? ✨

“Nano Nagle had this hope and transmitted this hope in God to her community.” – Sister Pegge Boehm, Aberdeen
Hope isn’t just a feeling — it’s a deep trust that God is present in this very moment. Inspired by Nano Nagle, we continue to live and share that hope in our communities and ministries today.
May this reminder anchor your heart in prayer and the promise that you are never alone. ✨

What we believe, born out of the Gospel and our values is that we were created for this time! Our world needs us now.” – Sister Mary Catherine, New Windsor
Rooted in the Gospel and inspired by the courageous spirit of Nano Nagle, we believe our call is not by chance. We are here for this moment — to be voices of hope, agents of justice, and women of faith in action.
The world needs love. The world needs hope. The world needs us now. ✨
