Pious Associations
These are the groups of women on the way of becoming religious institutes of diocesan right:
- Missionary Sisters of the Holy Family (MSHF)
- Theresian Missionary of Mary (TMM)
- Sisters of Social Apostolate (SSA)
The MSHF and the TMM are outgrowths of the original group founded by Archbishop Camomot and brought by him to Cagayan de Oro City: the Daughters of St. Teresa or DST, which group is now based in Cebu.) The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary or FMM used to have a house here. And there is 1 lay association, the Teresiana.
The religious sisters are in various fields of apostolate (like running or administering schools, campus ministry, parish work, catechetics, family life, hospital work, running orphanages, taking care of young ladies, and others).

Famous quotes containing the words pious and/or associations:
“Old and abandoned by each venal friend,
Here H[olland] took the pious resolution
To smuggle some few years and strive to mend
A broken character and constitution.”

“Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free- floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader’s full attention.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
