Sisters minister in a variety of ways, with emphasis in prayer and social activism but also by regular, loving practices such as hospital chaplaincy, walking with grieving families, visiting shut-ins, translating, serving as skilled advisors and leaders, and assuming responsibilities in the Motherhouse. Though the ways in which we minister are always changing, we remain engaged in learning, advocating, and encouraging others to bring forth a sustainable society founded on respect for the earth, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace.
Most of our Sisters reside in and minister from the Motherhouse in San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area. Three are out of the area, in Washington, D.C.; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Los Angeles. In addition, we have an active Advisory ministry for a foreign mission in Guatemala. -
Prayer
"She opens her hand to the poor. She opens her arms to the needy.
She opens her mouth with wisdom and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue."
Proverbs 31: 20, 26"We seek God in every aspect of our lives: in the quiet of personal prayer, in our companions, in the human history that unfolds each day. Our prayer is nourished by our encounters with God in ministry; in turn, our ministry is inspirited by our prayer." - Constitutions 12

Social Justice
San Francisco Presentation Sisters, Associates and other Ministry co-workers strive in our justice endeavors to live and serve with the mind of Nano. We join all Presentation Sisters in these endeavors.
Our Justice Committee is composed of Sisters and Associates who meet monthly to discuss the works of justice in our various ministries and plan future actions and events. If you would like to receive updates and action alerts from the Justice Committee please contact Sister Pat Davis, Justice Committee Chair, at 415-422-5001 or [email protected].
On ministry pages you will see identifiers of specific relationship to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Sisters of the Presentation are represented at the U.N. by a member of the International Presentation Association (IPA). -
