Women
of God- Sisters of Service
A
Special Tribute to the Religious Orders of the Archdiocese
of Oklahoma City
For
more than 100 years, Religious Women have ministered
to Oklahoma by spreading the Word of God. Countless
numbers of Catholics and non-Catholics have been helped
by their love, support and understanding. In schools,
hospitals, orphanages and homeless shelters these women
of faith have planted seeds of hope, love, understanding
and compassion in the hearts and minds of thousands
of Oklahomans. They deserve our thanks, our support,
our love and our prayers.
