Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother (SSM)

The Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother is a Third Order Regular of St. Francis of Assisi. We are an international, multicultural congregation. We share in the mission of Jesus to bring fuller life to others by revealing God’s love for all, especially the poor. With Mary, Mother of Sorrows, we strive to be a compassionate presence to those who suffer. Our main ministries include healthcare, education, youth ministry and related fields within those four areas. We serve the Lord in ten countries: The USA, Austria, Germany, Italy, Tanzania, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, St. Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago.
