About the Wagga Wagga CongregationWagga Wagga Congregation's FocusHistory of the Wagga Wagga CongregationMinistries of the Wagga Wagga Congregation

Chapter (every six years) is a time the Sisters spend in reflection and discussion on issues relating to our lives and ministries. During our 2003 Chapter a number of decisions were made which gives direction to our current ministries.

Ministry with the Marginalised

Ministry belongs to everyone in the Congregation: those in active ministry rely on and appreciate the prayerful support of all Sisters.

  • We are challenged to make available our diversity of gifts and skills as we continue the practical application of justice in working with the marginalised.

  • We are committed to making resources available to ministries with the marginalised through Congregational projects and also support groups outside the Congregation who work with and on behalf of those who are poor.

Advocacy

We have, in a part-time capacity, a Congregational Justice Coordinator.

The Sisters are encouraged to be informed on issues of justice and continue to take action on justice issues both Congregationally and personally.
