Our Apostolate in Suain, Aitape Diocese

All our work we do is geared to promote and strengthen our main Apostolate and that is Family Apostolate. We see family as the haven for the perfect growth of Christian Communities. We work to strengthen and maintain the faith in the families, so that they may live by Catholic faith and do all their wor k in faith. We sisters are involved in teaching, giving retreats; work with youths, mothers, management, pastoral work, running workshops and other activities. We also simply help in the Parish. We work in Suain, our only assignment in Aitape Diocese.
