EVANGELIZING SISTERS OF MARY (M.C.E.S.M)

The foundation of the Evangelizing Sisters of Mary was built on saving fellow Africans through Catechetical instruction. These Sisters implement their charism through social, healing, and teaching ministries across the globe.

Fr. John Marengoni safeguarded the Charism of the Evangelizing Sisters of Mary by emphasizing outreach to non-Christians and reinforcing catechetical instruction as part of their mission.

In fulfilment of their charism and charity work, the Sisters have established various educational institutions across East Africa. They manage and support students up to tertiary levels through sponsorships and holistic development programs.
