Who we are

Inspired by the faith, courage and initiative of the founder of the Little Company of Mary, Mary Potter, we are women of many nations who have heard a call in our lives to "FOLLOW JESUS", in the spirit of Mary.

We are women who simply believe beyond belief that our small talents and our capacity to love and to serve, echo the love and service Jesus gave to those he encountered in his life.

We shall love with our whole hearts our whole minds...when we do this, we shall be real Christians...

Our charism is to live as he lived and as Mary lived: Simply, truthfully and full of care for those around us, particularly those in need.

Our works may vary, but in all we do, we are called to show to the world the tender mercy of God, and the mother love of the Good Shepherd, who laid down his life for his sheep.

Our vision statements direct us to the reality that we - as vowed women within the Catholic church -  are to see and act through the lens of justice, and to make visible the truth that all women and men are to share the fruits of God's graciousness in Jesus

.

The simple  gift we bring to the church and world is that - in emulation of Jesus -  we live lives of self-giving love so that none may be lost or feel themselves abandoned.

Our model of faith and service is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Following her example, we seek to bring Christ to the world. Each community reflects the cultural diversity of which it is a part, but all are works are towards reaching out to the poor and marginalized, the sick and the dying.
