photoMissionary:

We are an apostolic order of sisters. What this means is that, as Presentation Sisters, we respond where we see a need. Our mission statements says: "We are willing go forth to any part of the world to work for justice, alleviating oppression and promoting human dignity, especially among the poor.” Our foundress, Nano Nagle said she would “go anywhere in the world to save souls.” From Aberdeen to Bolivia, from Eagle Butte to Mexico, from Sioux Falls to Guatemala, from teaching catechism to meeting people’s basic needs, we have provided active, responsive leadership. We have established and built schools and hospitals in the U.S. and beyond to meet pressing needs. Most recently, we had sisters serving at two missions outside the U.S., in Bolivia and Guatemala.

In December 2005 convent employees, friends and sisters pooled their resources and donated money for Sister Myra to purchase several cows in Bolivia.
You can read about this effort at: Cows for Bolivia

You can view photos of the cows purchased at: Photos of Bolivia Cows
