Three Sisters have been working in Carate since 2017. The town currently has a population of around 18,000 and is situated about 20 km from the city of Milan.
Sr Gloria Pegoretti, the superior of the community, is actively involved in the parish as well as carrying out various internal duties: she visits the sick and brings Holy Communion to elderly and infirm parishioners. Sr. Maria Teresa Arimppor has been working at the local Caritas for over 20 years. In addition, she supports women of various ages who live, work or study at Casa Maria Immacolata. Sr. Maria Beatrice Zenna works as a religious education teacher at the state secondary school ‘Leonardo da Vinci’. She also teaches catechism in the parish and serves on the parish pastoral council.
The three Sisters are greatly appreciated by the local community. Here too, many people hope that the Sisters will stay for a long time to come.
