Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?
Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuae viae: Ne me perdas illa die...

"The main apostolate for all religious...

"is their life of prayer, sacrifice and witness.

"The Sisters of Nazareth are apostolic, not because they have an 'Apostolate,' but because they live as the apostles lived. All apostolic activities spring from a close union with Christ, based on prayer. As Christ was sent on a mission by His Father, so He, through His Church, sends the Sisters of Nazareth to share in that Mission.

"It is a community that the Sisters carry out their apostolate and give witness to the power of the love of Christ in whose name they work. All talents are welcomed in the apostolate of service.

"The special apostolate entrusted by the Church to the Sisters of Nazareth is the care of the needy, the elderly, the infirm and the poor.

"Various other ministries are carried out by the Sisters such as teaching in schools, the provision of day nurseries and the care of children.

"Today the Sisters continue their apostolate in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Australia, the United States and American Samoa."
