The community in Zarevbrod, Bulgaria, has 11 members today. German, Filipina and Korean sisters have come to help the surviving five Bulgarian sisters. They live from the scanty produce of the rented property and from the production and sale of desired natural healing products such as herbal ointments and others. One sister gives English lessons in the public school and also to private students.
The many poor and out of work in the area are a special concern for the sisters who seek to help where they can. A women’s group makes and offers handmade items for sale. This group offers a warm meal one a week to impoverished youth. The religious education of people in a former communist country is also a main emphasis of the sisters’ ministry, They give children, youth and adults catechetical instruction and prepare them to receive the sacraments.
