In the Spirit of our Foundress, Venerable Nano Nagle, The Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary welcome women to come and share with us in our Presentation Charism. As Presentation Sisters we seek daily to promote hope, justice, freedom, and human dignity to all we meet through our many and varied ministries. Our long—term volunteer experience is open to single women 21+ who will live in community with Presentation Sisters and other volunteers. This volunteer experience runs 11 months beginning mid- August and ending in June. We also welcome women on an ongoing basis to join us for a long weekends, alternative winter or spring break, summer vacation or for one to three months of extended service. Volunteers will live and pray in community with Presentation Sisters and Associates and reflect on their service in light of our Gospel values. Some types of placement include but are not limited to education, health and pastoral care, direct and in-direct service with the poor in soup kitchens and shelters in the Newburgh, NY, and New York City areas.
