Korčula
A community of 32 sisters assisting people from all age groups, basically from their birth till death. This community provides a kindergarten (for about 140 children). The sisters work in several parishes as pastoral assistants – leading the choir, assisting the priest, organising feasts, teaching cathecism (also in public schools)... A lot of children need help in their studies and the sisters help them – especially with maths, English, music etc.
Some of the sisters are involved in health care (x-ray, labs).
The sisters also visit elderly people in their houses. They are often asked by families to be with them when someone is going to die.
In terms of age the community is mixed – some of them are active, some are elderly and offer their prayers and sufferings for their sisters, the whole Dominican Order and all the needs of the Church.
