Mission
Motivated by the urgency to respond to the poorest of God's people and the Chapter Documents of 1990 which urged the Community to "take a corporate stand to identify with the poor," the Sisters of Divine Providence began to minister in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in February of 1993. In Las Cañitas, one of the most deprived barrios in Santo Domingo , the pastor requested that the Sisters be a "presence" to the people. Immediately, they were involved with the youth, the sick and elderly, and the little children in a Center located near a contaminated river. In these services, the Sisters have been mutually enriched with the people in sharing this "presence." The most recent concern of the Sisters is to develop a program for drug prevention for children between 5 and 12 years of age. Today, Santo Domingo mission is truly international with the presence of Sister Mary Providence Kriley ( United States ), Myriam Colón (Puerto Rico), Monika Mrosek ( Germany ), and Noel Han ( Korea ).
