As we celebrate 250 years of the Sisters of the Presentation, we give thanks for the enduring legacy of Nano Nagle. With kindness, courage and everyday acts of justice, Nano founded the congregation guided by her call to serve through โnot words, but deeds.โ
Today, as Presentation people in North America, we continue to shine Nanoโs light through shared prayer and compassionate action โ reaching out in love and service to our neighbors and a world in need.
In Iowa, hospitality remains a cherished Presentation value as sisters warmly welcome all who come through their doors, creating spaces of kindness, belonging and hope. In South Dakota, sisters put Nano's spirit of compassion into action by volunteering at a backpack and school supply giveaway, helping ensure local students begin the school year prepared, confident and ready to learn. By easing the burden of back-to-school expenses for families, they help create opportunities for every child to succeed.
Through these simple yet meaningful acts of service, we continue to live Nano's legacy of caring for our neighbors through "not words, but deeds."
