  • Read more about Truly going to the margins

On a mission experience sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill to Ecuador in July, the final day on the schedule said: Medical services and mini-Olympics in a distant village. For most of the participants on the trip — sisters, teachers and volunteers — it was hard to imagine a place more remote than the small town where we had helped at a school for children with special needs that is sponsored by the Korean province of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill.

  • Read more about Vietnamese sisters commit to housing hospital patients from remote areas

The Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul use part of their facility to offer accommodation to up to 30 patients and their relatives at a time in Ho Chi Mihn City. Most of the lodgers are from families with few resources or ethnic minority groups who live in remote areas. Dominican sisters in the neighboring province of Dong Nai run a charity clinic giving medical treatment to patients who can't make it to the city.

This story appears in the HIV/AIDS Ministry feature series. View the full series.

Eleven sisters make up the Migrant Project/Sicily, a program founded by the International Union Superiors General (UISG) in Rome to aid migrants in Sicily by developing one-on-one relationships with them and helping them assimilate to their new home. About half a year into their mission, the sisters , from eight countries and eight congregations, have witnessed first-hand the motivations and frustrations of people coming from Africa looking for a better life.
