In 1696, Marie Poussepin, "inspired by Providence", left Dourdan, the prosperous city where she was born, to settle in the humble village of Sainville.... Her charity excluded no one, but the poor had her preference and her solicitude: to love above all "the most needy". (First Intuition)

Our community is made up of four Sisters of three nationalities; Sister Marina Carrascal, Colombian; Sister Glenda Ortiz, Honduran; and Sisters Ana Bertha Ortega and Claudia Lorena Redondo, Mexican. We identify with these words of St. Paul: "I thank Him who has strengthened me, our Lord Jesus Christ, for having counted me worthy of trust in his service" (I Tim. 1:12).

We serve in Brownsville, Texas; in St. Philip of Jesus Parish. Brownsville is on the southern border of the United States, on the Mexican side of the border with Matamoros, Tamaulipas. Ecclesially we belong to the Diocese of Brownsville.
With lay people from the parish in which we carry out our mission and people from other parishes we form the team “Todos Somos Migrantes”(We Are All Migrants). Aware of this truth and as a fruit of nourishing ourselves with the Word of God: "we feel called by the Lord to share the Faith through the explicit proclamation of the Word; to console in some way the sorrows and needs of so many of our sisters and brothers who pass through this border in search of a better opportunity to live with dignity with their families. All this we do it through listening, celebrating the sacraments with them and offering them food, to mitigate their hunger: physical, of God, of appreciation and recognition of their dignity, of being able to regain confidence in someone, we do it both in Brownsville and in Matamoros".
