Responding to the invitation of Bishop Lorenzo Ceresoli, MCCJ, Diocese of Hawassa, the Arramo mission in Gedeo Zone was started on 12 March 2006 to promote pastoral, health and developmental activities in line with our charism.

​

The sisters studied the area and realized that there were many orphans, semi orphans, large families, children without education. Over time, with the support of well-wishers from various countries, the sisters have set up playschools in five villages, feeding program for poor and vulnerable children, and support to elderly and sick persons.

​

Through the clinic the sisters provide primary health care (preventive and curative), immunization, laboratory services, natural family planning, home care for HIV/AIDS patients, etc. Village development programs and women’s empowerment is another focused area of service.
