OUR MISSION

OUR STORY

Discover the story of Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters, from their humble beginnings to the work they continue today.

This two-year project combines archival films and photos, along with interviews with Victory Noll Sisters and those who have been impacted by their century of presence and service.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

Social justice issues have been part of the mission of Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters since their founding. The way they work, pray and use their abundant resources are rooted in their charism to proclaim the Gospel in solidarity with all persons.

CARE OF MISSION

The OLVM Charism calls on Sisters to serve in solidarity with God’s people, especially those marginalized by society. They show compassion by working for justice and acting with simplicity and adaptablility, and in the way they collaborate with others.

The purpose of the Empowerment Grants is to utilize our resources, so as to effectively address the Victory Noll Sisters’ concern for those who live in poverty and are marginalized by society. We, as Victory Noll Sisters are committed to a corporate public way to promote and sustain the mission of God according to the charism of Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters in solidarity with all persons, especially those living in poverty and/or oppression.
