OUR MISSION
We, the Sisters of the Presentation and our associates, dedicate our lives to God through evangelization, prayer, service and hospitality. Our way of life is based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.News & Events
Beginning on November 13, 2024, our Presentation community celebrates the 150th anniversary of our foundation in Dubuque. This significant milestone celebrates “150 Years of Tending the Light” – offering unwavering faith, dedicated service and a deep commitment to peace and justice, with special emphasis on serving women and children.
In these tumultuous times, let us stand in solidarity with our immigrant and refugee brothers and sisters as we advocate for comprehensive immigration reform that provides a reasonable path to citizenship.
In our Winter issue of Presentation Doorways, we highlight the various ways we continue to uphold our storied history and to honor Nano Nagle’s legacy by addressing challenges in our world today. As we celebrate our 150th anniversary, we continue to tend the light with deep compassion, resilience and an unwavering commitment to women and children, social justice and care of Earth, believing God’s spirit is always guiding us along the way.
