Our Ministries

St. Michael’s school provides Catholic education to over 180 boys. Nagle House has an enrolment of 600 girls from the high-density areas of Dombo Tombo and Nyameni. Meals are provided for the many who are hungry and the Sisters also help with school fees for those who cannot afford them.

Wadzanai has expanded to cater for co-education of students who study for the Diploma in Religious Studies at the University of Zimbabwe to which the Institute is affiliated. On and off in the past few decades, night courses in English, day courses in dressmaking and several days of retreats and spiritual formation ran concurrently with Wadzanai’s activities. It is also the venue for the meetings of the CMRS and CMRSW and for the annual international Dei Verbum workshop.

A community was established in Dombo Tombo in the 70s. In 1989, at the invitation of the bishop of Chinhoyi, a community took up residence in Guruve near the Zambezi valley where our Sisters are engaged in nursing and pastoral work.

The turn of the century saw us return to Mutare diocese where our missions had been before Independence. We were instrumental in setting up a new secondary school, St. Mary’s for girls from Chikanga and Sakubva townships. Sadly, lack of human resources in the Vice Province forced us to withdraw (temporarily, we hope).

Outside of the afore-mentioned institutions, our Sisters have been or are at present, engaged in RCIA programmes, secretarial and archival work for the archdiocese, teaching of English and computer skills outside of school structures and prison-visiting. Our outreach to people living with HIV/AIDS including orphan care and feeding schemes has brought us into the homes of the poorest of the poor in Harare and Marondera.

We network with the IPA in its work for justice and uphold its values at local level.
