Social Service Ministries
Chilcuautla
Hidalgo, Mexico
Our Sisters, in collaboration with Assumption Parish, offer a family formation program in Mezquital, in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, whose population is composed primarily of the indigenous tribe known as Hñähñü.
The project is two-pronged: providing pastoral formation and offering much needed community service in this isolated area. Its goal is to bring the populations of Mezquitaland the surrounding pueblos closer together to create stronger ties with their faith community and the parish.
Ministerio de Mujeres Artesanas
Ministerio de Mujeres Artesanas accompanies communities in Mexico, through initiatives that revive cultural traditions and uplift women. The Sisters guide groups of women of all ages in embroidery and backstrap loom weaving—art forms that were at risk of being lost. In a dedicated workshop, participants create handmade blouses, shirts, dresses, bags, tablecloths, and more using their ancestral techniques. Through this ministry, the women reclaim their cultural identity, strengthen their skills, and affirm their dignity, fostering pride in who they are and in the beauty of their traditional craftsmanship.
