Sisters of the Holy Names and those who work with us have found novel ways to expand the definition of "teacher". You'll find us working where the spirit guides us. That might be in preschools or graduate programs; in studios, in parishes, in HIV ministry, in prisons or refugee centers, in housing projects and medical clinics, in programs that guide communities to choose a Gospel path, and directing programs that promote systemic change. That is only a start! Through these links you can sample some of our work:
