Presentation Sisters mark 150 years of global service

The Presentation Sisters will celebrate their 150th anniversary with a mass on April 6 at St. Ann R.C. Church in Staten Island. They focus on helping the needy and educating children globally. Founded in 1775 by Nano Nagle in Ireland, the Sisters have established schools worldwide. They began their work in Staten Island in 1874 and have adapted their mission over the years. Today, the Sisters are active in 19 countries, continuing their charitable work despite a smaller community. They no longer teach in local schools but remain committed to serving the poor.
