Advocacy
Presentation sisters live out our mission statement to “confront injustice and work for peace.” Through advocacy, representation at the United Nations through the International Presentation Association, coordinators for justice, and participating in local justice events, our sisters respond to the call to serve God’s people by working with others to eradicate the causes of injustice and oppression.
