The Presentation Sisters were founded in 1775 by Nano Nagle to meet the needs of the poor in penal Ireland.
Founded from Ireland, Presentation Sisters came to “the ends of the earth” in Australia in 1866, in Victoria in 1873 and in Dandenong in 1912.
Traditionally, Presentation Sisters in Australia have reached out to poor families through education in Primary Schools, Secondary Colleges and Tertiary Institutions.
Today Presentation Sisters and Associates are in every continent across our globe and work to address the “cry of the poor and the cry of the earth” through a variety of social justice initiatives. Wellsprings for Women is one such initiative and continues to be auspiced by the Presentation Sisters, Victoria. |
