MOTHER OF THE WORD CIRCLE
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
We,
The Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception,
commit ourselves by profession of vows to:
Manifest God's universal compassion through inclusive non-dominating relationships of love.
Trust in God's providence and live in a manner that affirms the right of all to a just share of earth's resources.
Discern together the voice of the Spirit which has called us to be one in our diversity.
In the spirit of Francis, Clare and Elizabeth Hayes, we promote everwidening circles of communion as we:
Open oursevles to a life of continued conversion in response to the call of the Gospel.
Identify with the victim, the poor and the marginalized in seeking a peace built on justice.
Reverence creation, acknowledging the right of all God's creatures to enjoy its blessings.
Address the need within ourselves for repentance, forgiveness and healing while promoting a message of reconciliation.
At present we have 39 Sisters in this Mother of the Word Governance Circle and 10 are young women in initial Formation. We have seven houses where our Sisters live and minister to God's people in what ever field they have been called to. Five of these houses are in Aitape Diocese, Sandaun Province and two in Wewak Diocese, East Sepik Province.
