About Us

The Conference of Presentation Sisters, or the Conference, represents hundreds of Presentation Sisters from six congregations in North America.

These congregations are located in Aberdeen, South Dakota; Dubuque, Iowa; New Windsor, New York; Staten Island, New York; San Francisco, California; and the United States Unit of the Union of Presentation Sisters.

The Conference of Presentation Sisters exists to provide opportunities for collaboration of the members on matters of mutual interest, to promote unity, to strengthen the spirit of Nano Nagle, and to encourage the works of the sisters to fulfill the mission in the Church. In other words: greater collaboration, connection and communion.
