Who Are We ?

WHO ARE WE?

OUR NAME:    

We are Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa (White Sisters). We are religious exclusively missionary sisters destined principally for Africa, but ready to respond to the needs elsewhere.

 We are Religious Missionary Sisters, founded in Africa to Serve people and  the Church of Africa.

 We are sent to live in international  and Intercultural  Communities to share  the GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST with  those who do not know Him yet.

 We are women apostles dedicated to the evangelization of African Peoples.   

 We are called to be all things to  All people.

 ROOTED IN CHRIST through a life of Prayer we are called to go out to those who are different.

         WOMEN APOSTLES NOTHING ELSE

         That is to say women having hearts burning with "a strong and ardent love" for JESUS CHRIST and belonging totally to Him. The founder Cardinal Charles Lavigerie  destined these apostles for AFRICA.

         To proclaim the Good News of Christ to the African peoples: "Tell them that this Jesus, whose cross you show them, died on it to bring all the freedoms to the world, freedom of souls against the yoke of evil, freedom of conscience against the yoke of the persecutors, freedom of the body against the yoke of slavery." Lavigerie (June 3, 1879                       

UNDER THE PROTECTION OF OUR LADY OF AFRICA

We are under the protection of Our Lady of Africa.

Because for us Mary is the one who believed and collaborated in the Redemption.

As in the time of the apostles, she is present wherever the church is being built.

                        WE ARE CALLED WHITE SISTERS

It is because of the long white habit that our sisters used to wear that people gave us the name white sisters.
