Daughters of the Holy Spirit
We are an international Catholic religious congregation, moved by the Spirit of Jesus at work in the world.
As a spiritual family and with others, we seek to respond to the needs of the peoples among whom we live.
The congregation has committed to a policy for the prevention of abuse of minors and vulnerable persons.
