Our Mission
The mission of the Sisters of the Divine Savior is to make known the goodness and kindness of Jesus, Savior of the world, and to foster an awareness of a loving God among peoples in whatever place and by whatever means the Spirit of God inspires.
As women of faith striving to be given over to our God and open to all peoples, we collaborate to promote justice and to improve quality of life in our world with a preferential option for the poor.
Sister Mary Lee Grady fills her days with compassionate service to her former high school, Divine Savior Holy Angels.
The Sisters of the Divine Savior live out our mission in many ways, often in collaboration with Salvatorian priests and brothers and Lay Salvatorian women and men. Get to know us by reading about our ministries and following our Salvatorian Sentiments blog. You can also read archived copies of our Salvatorian News that mails out twice a year.

A Prayer for Mother's Day
Remember and ponder the many ways we have experienced the love of our mothers.
For this we give thanks.
Remember and ponder the many ways we have shared the love our mothers gave us.
For this we give thanks.
Remember and ponder the many ways God’s love has been experienced by our mothers.
For this we give thanks.
Loving God, my heart is filled with gratitude for my mother and the mother-figures in my life. Like Mary, who is the mother of our Lord, my being overflows with praise and thanks.
Each day, open my eyes, my heart and my entire being to see your goodness in the midst of our broken and fragmented world.
Amen.
Based on a prayer by Sr. Jenada Fanetti, SDS
