The Society continues to attract new members in different parts of the world. The call of God comes in the inspiration of Cornelia Connelly’s spirit, in the work and prayer of sisters engaged in mission around the world.

Our mission as expressed in the Constitutions of the Society is “to help others to believe that God lives and acts in them and in our world, and to rejoice in God’s presence.” In Chad, in Ghana and Nigeria, in Europe, Chile, the Dominican Republic and in the US, Holy Child sisters initiate, collaborate, and search out ways to fulfill their mission. If you would like to join in these efforts, contact sisters in the Provinces or see the African, American or European province websites:
