Directions for Mission
Conscious of our identity as Presentation women, we listen deeply to the cry of Earth heard most loudly in the cry of those made poor and we are moved to attend with urgency to the woundedness of our global community.
In these critical times it is imperative that we find ways to ensure that human dignity is everywhere upheld and honoured and that we name, challenge and seek to change the systems and lifestyles in which we are complicit and which contribute to the present extremes of wealth and poverty and the degradation of Earth.
Therefore we will address the root causes of poverty, especially by confronting personal and corporate greed which exploit Earth, her peoples and the whole community of life.
