Pastoral work

The sisters are also committed to the work of Catechesis as it is one of the most important ways of spreading the Good News. At Divine Mercy Parish in Lusaka Archdiocese, the Sisters are contributing in pastoral work by animating the youth, singing in the choir, and participating in Biblical and Pastoral activities.

In all their schools, the sisters are teaching Catechism to the young people in order to bring them to the sacraments. In all these works, the sisters strive to let the people experience Gods’ goodness and love.
