Do the Sisters of Social Work still exist?


Recommended Posts

I know a number of these sisters--they are lovely. They used to run a children's home in my city, but no longer do. They are mostly social workers and in pastoral care; their foundress, Margaret Shlacta, was the first woman in the Hungarian Parliament! The US sisters, headquartered in California, are independent of the international congregation now. I knew their historian (and former Superior), Jean Marie Renfro, before she sadly died relatively young. [She also had an essay in the "Why I Entered the Convent" book!]

My only wish is that they will still on their old habit. Their is a certain uniqueness into it like that of Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist or that of the Community of Our Lady of Walsingham.
 

I believe the sisters in Poland still wears them, are they? not sure

I have seen this habit and they are Sisters of Social Service, I forgot if it is in Poland or Croatia

I have seen this as well in Poland I believe and the distinctiveness of their veil. Wishing to bring it back
