We offer spiritual guidance, Ignatian excercises and retreats.
Our missions:
We are present at the United Nations (UN) where the voice of civil society is of increasing importance in multilateral decisions on vision and goals aimed at encouraging the human community to peaceful and respectful collaboration in a way that benefits all people and our planet.
Our UN NGO is working in collaboration with other civil society organizations (CSOs/NGOs), UN agencies and member states to challenge injustices and unjust structures by bringing the insights of the people with whom we work and live, especially the most marginalized, to the UN.
Its focus is mainly on women and girls within the context of social development, sustainable development and human rights.
We have this presence as a non-governmental organization (NGO) to the United Nations in New York City for more than 20 years. Our representatives to the UN in New York work in close collaboration with representatives in all our Provinces and Regions to get an overview of the needs within the different parts of the world and to promote a more humane, just and sustainable world.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a cohesive framework for this ministry and our representatives focus their energies on education, awareness raising and advocacy. Specific areas of involvement are:
Our work at the UN NGO Office is underpinned by the transformative dynamic of the gospel message, and guided by the vision of Mary Ward, Catholic Social Teaching, and our core values of justice, truth, freedom, sincerity and felicity.
