Casa Maria Teresa

The Casa Maria Teresa in Salvador is the center of the vicariate. The vicariate superior and her assistant live there. They manage the vicariate and are responsible for the sisters’ welfare. Two other sisters support them by handling bookkeeping, administration, and various household tasks.

Two sisters are also involved in the parish and the Conference of Religious Superiors, as their schedules permit.

Together with the sisters in São José, they celebrate church services and various events. Over the years, the bond with the older sisters has grown.

The house serves as a meeting place for the annual vicariate meetings. Due to the big distances between the different areas of activity in Brazil, the house serves as a home and a connecting bridge within the country for the traveling sisters, as well as with the motherhouse and the other provinces. The sisters prioritize making their fellow sisters and guests feel at home.
