Canto Grande Region
A Mission in Service of the Most Needy
Located in the northeastern part of Lima, Canto Grande is one of the 43 districts that make up Peru’s capital. It is characterized by a stark contrast between wealth and poverty and has the highest population density in the Lima region, with nearly 1.2 million residents.
The region continues to experience a steady influx of migrants who, in search of better opportunities, settle on the steep hillsides in makeshift shacks. As these settlements expand into the highlands, the Peruvian government has been working to build stairs and roads to improve accessibility. However, many areas still lack basic infrastructure, including running water, leaving many residents in precarious living conditions.
Amid these challenges, the local parish, consisting of 11 secondary stations, is actively engaged in evangelization and social outreach. Their mission is to bring the light of the Gospel to those who need it most while standing in solidarity with the struggles of the people. Through pastoral care and various apostolic initiatives, sisters seeks to offer both spiritual and material support to help uplift the community.

Villa El Salvador Region
Situated south of Lima, the capital of Peru, Villa El Salvador emerged in response to an urgent housing crisis in the 1970s, as waves of immigrant families sought refuge in the area. Officially established as a district in 1983, it stands as a remarkable example of urban development, where residents themselves played a crucial role in constructing electricity, water, and sewage systems in what was once an expansive desert landscape.
Despite its high population density, the region continues to face significant educational challenges, with a low literacy rate and limited access to quality schooling. In response, our community actively supports local children through a study room, ensuring they receive educational guidance and opportunities for growth. Additionally, to aid those facing severe food insecurity, we operate a soup kitchen that provides daily meals to residents of the slum areas, where many struggle to secure even the most basic sustenance.
Within the spiritual sphere, we are entrusted with pastoral care for five chapels of ease within one parish, fostering faith, community, and hope in the midst of hardship. Through these initiatives, we remain committed to serving the people of Villa El Salvador, standing alongside them.

Cangari Region
Nestled in the rugged highlands of Ayacucho, Peru, the Cangari Region is a small rural village situated at an altitude of 2,200 meters above sea level. Though part of one of the most populous districts in Ayacucho, the village remains isolated and underdeveloped, still bearing the deep scars of the 1983 terrorist attacks, which left many victims and lasting trauma among its people.
Home to approximately 150 farming families, the residents work tirelessly in agriculture, cultivating the vast mountain fields to sustain their livelihoods. Due to its remote location and the scarcity of priests, many villagers face significant challenges in practicing their faith and receiving the sacraments regularly.
In response, our community, in collaboration with the local community of believers and the Third Order of Sisters of Our Lady, is committed to strengthening evangelization efforts in the region. Through these efforts, we strive to bring the light of Christ to those in spiritual and social isolation, ensuring that even the most distant secondary stations remain connected to the life and grace of the Church.
