The Sisters of Bon Secours have released their latest video, A Mission of Hope and Healing in South Africa, to show others the dramatic needs of the South African people. These are people faced with hunger, malnutrition and even starvation. They also suffer from HIV/AIDS and there is an overwhelming population of orphans. The Bon Secours sisters in South Africa provide care to many with these devastating needs while sharing their love of God in everything they do.

Their ministry began in the village of Limpopo, South Africa in June of 2008. In 2010, two sisters from the United States, Sister Vicky Segura, CBS, MD and Sister Elaine Davia, CBS, NP traveled there to assist with medical and nutritional needs. The sisters utilized their medical skills to assist many HIV/AIDS patients and were also able to help refugees, families and orphans with basic needs in the village. They share inspiring stories from their journey in this short video.

In addition to the sisters’ work in their HIV/AIDS clinic and in outreach to the people … continue reading…

In 2004, the Sisters of Bon Secours, along with Sisters from Sisters of Mercy, School Sisters of Notre Dame, and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, joined together to address a growing need in Baltimore, Maryland.

That need translated into help and positive inte

rvention within the lives of female middle school students in the form of a new school. Now serving students in grades 5-8, the Sisters Academy strives not only to provide an excellent education for these young girls, but also to infuse a sense of spirituality and confidence in them as well.

In our world today, it is not enough to just be present. Many of the girls attending the Academy come from lower income areas, and often fall victim to circumstances that require them to react or survive. When these girls are armed with spiritual conviction and confidence that presents to them a limitless … continue reading…

What a wonderful heritage and legacy we celebrate today -  that on January 24, 1824 twelve women in Paris professed their vows as Sisters of Bon Secours and pledged to be a presence of good help to the sick and dying in their homes; something truly unheard of at that time!  Something risky yet creative.  Something that inspired other women to follow and others to seek their compassion and good help in their times of need.

The same Spirit moves among us today, calling us to a new creativity; to take new risks; to continue to meet the pressing needs of today in our world.

We give thanks for our 12 founding sisters and all those who came before us and on whose shoulders we stand.  We give thanks for all of our sisters, associates, ministry volunteers and co-workers today who generously provide compassion, healing and liberation to people in need.  And we give thanks for all those who will come and join us tomorrow and in future years to be “good help to those in need.”

Blessings and love,

Sr. Rose Marie Jasinski, … continue reading…

For the Sisters of Bon Secours, whom brighten and enrich my life, I am thankful.  For my Mother and my family, I am thankful.  For the women in discernment, I am thankful.  For my coworkers and fellow religious, I am thankful.  For each day that awakens the Earth, I am thankful.  For all living creatures on this planet, I am thankful.  For the fresh, life-sustaining air that we breathe each day, I am thankful.  For the individuality so creatively engineered within each of us by God, I am thankful.  For YOU, I am thankful. 

May you find Peace, Love, and Happiness this Thanksgiving Holiday!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Thanksgiving in North America originated from a mix of European and Native traditions. Typically in Europe, festivals were held before and after the harvest cycles to give thanks for a good harvest. Native Americans also celebrated the end of a harvest season. When Europeans first arrived in the Americas, they brought with them their own harvest festival traditions from Europe, celebrating their … continue reading…
