Brazil
There are two sisters of St Louis currently ministering in Brazil, in the central west region of the country, in the city of Goiânia. The Sisters of St Louis came to Brazil in 1976 with the mission to work directly with the poor and oppressed. In the early years, the sisters ministered in parishes where there were no priests and taught in the public school system. Today, they work with people with HIV/AIDS, in AIDS Prevention Education, and in human rights.

Real Conquista Project, Goiânia
Margie Buttitta SSL is a member of an inter-congregational missionary team that was established in 2006 to respond to a significant number of people who were violently displaced in the city of Goiânia in Brazil in late 2005. An area was chosen on the outskirts of the city to resettle these families, and this project became known as Real Conquista (Real Conquest).
