Dear Sisters and Friends,
At Christmas this year, 2025, the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, invite you to give a
Christmas Gift that make a difference.
The Catalogue of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions presents a range of gifts for this Christmas Season. When you choose one of these gifts for your family and friends, your contribution helps the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions to assist people in need living at the margins of society and people with limited access to education. Your gift can make a difference in their lives.
From these empowering projects, you will see how your gift will enhance and be a catalyst for change in the lives of people and families who are deprived in ways that many of us take for granted.
The four gifts are:
Mother and Child Nutrition Program, Vietnam;
Health Care and Hygiene, Bangladesh;
Educating Children for the future, Peru;
Preservation of Biodiversity, India Central.
Once you complete the attached Order Form and return it to the address indicated, you will receive a Gift Voucher and a Christmas Card which you can then personalise for your loved ones.
Thank you for entering into this partnership with the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions in giving a
Gift That Makes a Difference!
Christmas blessings of peace and joy to you and your family.
Margaret Scott RNDM and Silvia Mazzenga
Kontum is a diocese in the Central Highlands, near the borders of Laos and Cambodia. The majority of the population is ethnic Bahnar, who live in remote areas. We are called to serve these people, in five villages. Women and children suffer from malnutrition due to poverty, food insecurity, and lack of access to essential nutrients like protein, calcium, and vitamins. These issues lead to long- term health problems such as stunted growth, weakened immunity, anemia, and complications during pregnancy. This project is aimed at providing milk and nutritious food to children and women living in poverty to improve their health and help them live with dignity
In the newly established community in Shombugonj, the sisters have identified an urgent and pressing need for healthcare services in the region. This project will provide affordable and accessible healthcare to the underserved and remote communities, while promoting awareness of health, hygiene, and preventive care. Through basic medical services and outreach efforts, it will address both immediate health needs and support long-term well-being through education and early mediation. The project will help ensure that children and families are healthy enough to learn and thrive. Key services will include health formation programs, and the integration of basic healthcare into local students and people.
Our mission in Peru is to provide quality education that nurtures the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth of each child, forming responsible citizens committed to building a more just society grounded in Christian values. This project focuses on our youngest learners — children aged 3 to 5 in our preschool. With your generous support, we will equip these classrooms with safe, durable, and age-appropriate tables, chairs, storage units, and reading corners. These improvements will enhance the children’s comfort, safety, and ability to participate fully in class.
Together, we can give these children a better start in life and prepare them to be the leaders of tomorrow.
The "Beekeeping for Healthy Biodiversity" project is a community-based environmental initiative by Nava Jeevan Convent in Barasat, West Bengal. The land is fertile with abundant vegetation and flowers providing an ideal habitat for bees and other pollinators. This project aims to conserve biodiversity through sustainable beekeeping, mushroom cultivation, and vermicomposting, while simultaneously empowering women and farmers through Self-Help Groups (SHGs). By partnering with Bee Active, a Kolkata-based ecological training group, the sisters and community members will receive hands-on training in eco- friendly practices. The initiative will boost crop yields, promote food security, generate income from organic honey and bee products, and foster environmental awareness to the beneficiaries.
