Introduction
In the beginning, the founding members continued to work in education. By 1977, the movement of the Spirit seemed to urge change. The Sisters formulated their Mission Statement. In the light of this process, the SLW sought ministries in tune with their personal gifts and talents. With a new awareness of how to meet the needs of the poor and the oppressed some sisters remained in the field of education while others reached out to the homeless, the abused, the illiterate, the elderly and the homebound. In every area, the SLW began to read the signs of the times, to be for today's world a reflection and an affirmation of the life-giving, freeing Word.
