We Presentation Sisters belong to an International Congregation. 
We follow in the footsteps of our foundress, Nano Nagle,
​ who dreamed of a more just and compassionate world.
She was conscious 
                     of the cry of the earth 
                                           and of people kept poor. 
The Spirit of Jesus that drew Nano
is the same Spirit that draws us.
We commit ourselves to the values of Jesus and Nano
in the context of our world today.
We hold in trust our resources, finances and properties in solidarity with all of life. 
​We are Women of God
in the dance of vulnerability and possibility
weaving a New Story ----------
ONE Congregation 

Beckoned by Nano's spirit,
with hearts ablaze we come --------
At the wild, unfinished edges
​We encounter Mystery

The values that we as Presentation Sisters hold sacred determine and inform decisions we make and how we make them. Core values that guide us in our mission and in our day to day living are:
  • Contemplation - Ata Whakaaro
We take the time for stillness and reflection
  • Welcoming - Manaaki
We are open and welcoming to all
  • Compassion - Aroha
We have a heart for the vulnerable and those kept poor
  • Justice -Manatika
We respect the dignity of each person and the whole of creation
  • Formation-Herengaa
We endeavour to nurture and raise awareness of a "Spirituality of Being in Communion."
A culture of safeguarding.
We recognise the personal dignity,
uniqueness and rights of all children,
young people and vulnerable adults
towards whom we have a special responsibility
and a duty of care.
We are committed to safeguarding
and promoting good practice in ministry
​by all our sisters at all times.
​We consider the welfare of all children, young people and vulnerable adults to be paramount
