Apostolate of Prayer

The gift of prayer is the most precious gift we can give to one another. The Sisters of the Divine Savior pray for the intentions of benefactors and friends. The Sisters pray for a family’s health and happiness, for loved ones and friends who have died, employment, and that dear ones return to faith. There are also many intentions that embrace international issues such as peace, hunger and natural disasters. This list of intentions truly never ends.

To send your prayer intentions, visit us at www.sistersofthedivinesavior.org or email us at sdsdev@salvatoriansisters.org. Prayer intentions may also be sent through the mail or call us at (414) 466-7414.

"The Trade in human persons is a shocking offence against human dignity and a grave violation of fundamental human rights."

-Pope John Paul II - May 15, 2002 letter

When did slavery end? Answer: It didn’t. Today 27 million men, women and children are forced to work as slaves in agriculture, manufacturing, domestic servitude, the restaurant industry, and the sex trade. Human trafficking exists in almost every country in the world—even in every state in the USA! Slaves often remain invisible to the common person, but their condition cries out for salvation.
