The Poor Sisters of Our Lady (PSOL) is a Catholic congregation dedicated to spreading the message of Christ's love and redemption. While the congregation is comprised of Sisters and the ones aspiring to become Sisters the lay collaborators play a vital role in supporting and advancing the mission of the PSOL.
Lay collaborators are individuals who share the charism and mission of the PSOL congregation. They are men and women from various walks of life who are committed to living out their faith in service to others. Lay collaborators may be married or single, and come from diverse backgrounds and professions.
Inspired by Mary our Mother, and Servant of God George Fernandes, we live a Spirit filled life as individuals and as a group through Marian Spirituality empowering us to reach out to the needy particularly the marginalized, children, women, families and promoting vocations.
