In 1950 the sending of Sisters to the Diocese of Ambanja was both the fulfillment of a promise made in thanksgiving for the protection of the Congregation during WWII and a response to Pope Pius XI's call to universal mission in the Church.

Today around 120 Sisters in 21 communities, are present in Madagascar. Most live and work in the North of the island and they serve also in Moroni, in the neighboring Comoros Islands.

The Sisters are involved in:

• Teaching
