Escuela Morelos

In 1991, our community branched out to serve in Mexico, Chihuahua especially. The Sisters were asked to direct and develop the Instituto Educativo Morelos; subsequently, they also involved themselves in various parishes of the Archdiocese of Chihuahua, responding to pressing evangelization needs through formation of leaders and catechetical work.

Escuela Morelos is a Primary School, grades one to six, with a current enrollment of about 250 children of mid- to low-income families. Originally built under the auspices of the Church to provide a Catholic education to disadvantaged children and administered by a Patronato, it is now fully and legally administered by the Canossian Sisters through a process of “Acomodato.”
