| "Go
forward, … and may your hands scatter on all sides the divine seed of good works and good example." P.B. Noailles The apostolic religious of the Holy
Family live in communities - large or small - according to the apostolate.
The Apostolic Sisters in their various commitments continue the
mission of Christ who went about doing good. They may be found in
towns, the country, villages or in the middle of the bush, in shantytowns
and slums. Each apostolic community
lives a common mission, which inspires the apostolic
undertakings of its members - catechesis, education, care of the
sick, promotion of women, service of the poor, the handicapped.
the Eucharist,As apostolic religious we share in the life of the Church. The mission of preaching the Gospel is not limited to those times when we are in full health. The Gospel can be lived and preached effectively in sickness and old age as well as when we are young and in full health. The whole life of an Apostolic Sister, like that of Jesus, Mary and Joseph at Nazareth, is apostolic. Fr Noailles reminded the first Sisters that they had not separated themselves from the ordinary people. As their companions, they were to accompany them on their journey and share with them, as far as possible "all the fatigues, the trials and the
dangers of the journey." We shall now let some of the Sisters from this group tell their own story. STORIES FROM THREE SISTER CHAPLAINS:
