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.
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.

Salvatorian Prayer For Peace
God of Life and Peace,
united with so many people of good will,
we entrust to you the countless victims
of conflicts and wars around the world
but especially in those places
where members of our Salvatorian Family
humbly and generously serve others,
to make your merciful and healing love known:
in Israel and Palestine,
in Ukraine,
in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
in Pakistan and India,
in Venezuela and Colombia,
in Guatemala and Belarus,
and in so many other situations of violence and pain.
Show us the way of unity and peace,
So that we together, with open eyes, hearts and hands
welcome and protect those who have lost everything,
visit and heal the wounded,
comfort the grieving,
and welcome everyone, wherever they come from,
always and everywhere.
Through the intercession of Blessed Francis Jordan
and Blessed Mary of the Apostles
make us instruments of your peace,
revealed in Christ our Savior.
Amen.
Composed by Father Agustín Van Baelen, SDS
