Kildare Ministries comprises the ten educational and three community works formerly governed by the New South Wales Province of the Brigidine Congregation, the Victorian Province of the Brigidine Congregation and the Presentation Congregation of Victoria. These are located in NSW, QLD, SA and VIC.

Kildare Ministries is inspired by the transformative vision of the Christian story and our rich traditions. Our vision is for a community where all people are valued, where all creation is recognised as sacred and where hope, justice and courage are our hallmarks.

Exploring what we mean by ‘transformative vision of the Christian story’ leads us to reflect more deeply on the call to Christian discipleship today and the life modelled by Jesus. It is a call to challenge social norms and hierarchical structures which lead to oppression and marginalisation. It drives us in the proactive formation of inclusive communities as environments enabling the fullness of life of the individuals who are lovingly welcomed into them.
