Archdiocese of Mount Carmel
Sisters of the Visitation
SV
Mother house: Visitation Motherhouse, Larkmere

Charism
Like Mary, who went in haste to visit her cousin Elizabeth, we go out to those who wait for a visit: children who need a school, the sick who need care, and families who need someone to listen. We pray together each morning and evening, and carry that prayer into our work.
Apostolate
Teaching in parish and diocesan schools, nursing and community health care, and visiting families in rural parishes.
Where they serve in the diocese
Mount Carmel Cathedral Primary School, Larkmere; the Visitation Health Clinic, Amberfield; home visits in St Brigid's Parish, Amberfield.
