In response to St. Teresa of Avila’s call to be “daughters of the Church”, our sisters support the parish ministries of the Syro Malabar diocese of Chicago. We direct the catechism program serving seven hundred students at the St. Thomas Syo Malabar Cathedral Church. Our sisters also prepare catechumens to receive the sacraments, assist with retreats and Bible camps, train altar servers, visit the sick, and serve as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. Apart from our work with the Cathedral, many of our sisters also assist with pastoral ministry in the local parishes near the CMC convents located throughout North America.
