The Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary

An active and inclusive spirituality
We are a community of educators, women religious founded by Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher in 1843. Guided by our Christian spirituality, we hold the full development of the person at the very core of our mission. In recent years, lay people inspired by our ideals have chosen to associate themselves with our congregation.

An international solidarity network
Active on three continents, we are responsible for an international network of schools, a university, clinics and community centres.

Our corporate commitments are focused on three main international themes or issues:
• the struggle against human trafficking,
• access to water,
• advocacy for refugees and migrants.

Opportunities for action
Our various charitable organisations exist thanks to the support of many volunteers. To facilitate recruitment, our SNJM Solidarity Projects program offers opportunities for volunteers in several countries. Check out the available positions!
