The Little Company of Mary Sisters is an international Marian congregation, called and gifted to be a compassionate presence in the healing ministries and responding to emerging needs around the world. Founded in 1877 in Nottingham, England, our name and mission were inspired by Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the “little company” of faithful followers who remained with her at the foot of the cross on Calvary, offering Jesus and Mary their compassionate presence. Venerable Mary Potter, our Foundress, wrote, “We all have a power within us for doing good.” She urges us to tap into our own unique gifts and talents to make a difference in our world by integrating prayer in all our ministries. We are called to companion people in their search for hope, health and healing amidst their brokenness of body, mind or spirit through healthcare in hospitals, extended care facilities, home care and hospice. We are also active in parish ministry, chaplaincy, spiritual direction, outreach programs, foreign missions, administration and leadership.
