In the first year of foundation, the Leadership Team and the administrative staff of the SLW moved into a partially used convent at St. Juliana Parish, Chicago.
A massive reconstruction project was completed in 1990 and the Leadership Team and administrative staff moved into the Living Word Center in February, 1990.
[1] In the summer of 2021, the sisters closed the Living Word Center, as it was too large for their needs and relocated their offices to Des Plaines, Illinois.
The sisters work with AIDS patients, promoting peace, counseling teenage mothers, or feeding the hungry.
They teach computer classes to senior citizens, tutor Catholic school students,[3] and are active in immigration, pastoral care, social work, spiritual direction, [4] and prison ministry.
