Elisabeth Bruyère gave a missionary thrust to her young congregation by "lending" two 
sisters to the Grey Nuns of Montreal at Red River in Manitoba. She also sent sisters to collaborate with the Oblate Missionaries of Mary Immaculate in their ministry to the native peoples in Maniwaki, in Temiscamingue and in Mattawa. This same missionary dynamism was transmitted to future years.
1931 - 2000: Our presence in Africa became a reality in 1931 with the opening of a mission in Pontmain, Basutoland (now Lesotho). In spite of the early difficulties in communication - not 
knowing the Sesotho language, traveling on horseback in the mountains or across streams, etc., little by little, primary and secondary schools, boarding schools, agricultural and industrial schools, gardening, sewing, clinics and hospitals, home visits to the sick, all became part of our response to the many needs of the people. Recently, a ministry to children has seen the light of day. A formation community allows the young Basotho women to respond to God's call and to follow Him in the service of the poor.
21st century: All the ministries are now under the care of the African sisters. Recently, we have opened Most Holy Trinity Convent in St. Theresa Mission, Zastron, Republic of South Africa. In addition to responding to the health needs there, one sister is full time in parish work. The mission in Lesotho and South Africa can count on the services of our sisters for many years to come, for the generosity of these young women assures a dedicated and competent future.
