Where We Serve

“Today too, the Church needs men and women who, by virtue of their baptism, respond generously to the call to leave behind home, family, country, language and local Church, and to be sent forth to the nations, to a world not yet transformed by the sacraments of Jesus Christ and His holy Church”. – Pope Frances

Although the Congregation had started in a small village in Poland, it did not remain focused only on the needs of the local church. Therefore, the development of the Congregation went beyond the Polish borders and reached the farthest corners of the world. 

As we can witness, in England there is the Congregation of the Poor Servants of the Mother of God, founded by  Fanny Margaret Taylor, whose charism is very much like that of the Polish Little Servant Sisters. The Foundress had personally visited Blessed Edmund, who was able to give her a better understanding of how to implement the Rules of the Congregation. Additionally, Mother Jozafata Michalina Hordaszeska asked Blessed Edmund, to help to form the Congregation of the Servants of Immaculate Mary in the Greek Catholic Church.  

Thanks to the numerous vocations, the Congregation was able to open new houses and undertake new, wider and varied types of apostolates not only within Poland but also abroad.

At the present time, there are in the Federation of the four branches of the Little Servants Sisters  2600 sisters working in:

• Poland
• Europe
• Africa
• Asia
• America

Altogether we serve 500 missions in 25 countries, including Poland, with a variety of cultures, languages, and climates. 

 For the 170 years of its existence, the sisters of the Congregation have adjusted to whatever social conditions exist in the area in which they work and have been open to serving the needs of the local people, working in the spirit of simplicity and love of neighbor.
