LCM’s Work Around the World

The Sisters of the Little Company of Mary minister their work around the world.  Their mission of making sure every person receives the love and care they need is far reaching.

They have provinces, regions and communities in New Zealand, Australia, and Tonga; the United States; United Kingdom; Ireland and Italy; South Africa and Zimbabwe; and South Korea and Philippines. Prayer and care for the suffering and dying is at the heart of each of the ministries.

Below are some examples of the Sisters’ ministries across the world.
