Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary celebrate the conclusion of their centenary year with gratitude and hope for the future.

March 7, 2025 (on the eve of International Women’s Day), marked the end of a hugely successful Centenary year of joyful celebration of 100 years of dedicated missionary work of the MSHR to spread the message of God’s love and empower women’s lives worldwide.

The centenary celebrations launched in March 2024 opened with a special dedication to our founder, Bishop Joseph Shanahan CSSp and our pioneering sisters whose mission transformed many lives across the world. Following in their footsteps, we are deeply grateful for the support of our benefactors, donors, and funders, which enabled us to continue our missionary enterprise in the thirteen countries where we serve. Since our founding in 1924, we have expanded from Nigeria to eight other African countries, as well as Ireland, the UK, the USA, and Brazil.
