MMM communities are located at Ealing, in London, and at Solihull, in the West Midlands, near the International Airport at Birmingham.

Focused on our commitment to bring health and healing to people in places of greatest need, our work in England, as elsewhere in the northern hemisphere, provides support for our missions in countries where healthcare is scarce.

As the picture above shows, helping teachers to keep their young students informed about other countries is one of the activities of Sister Ruth Percival in our Solihull Community. The local school has formed a partnership with a primary school in Loolera in Tanzania, where Sister Ruth formerly worked.

Mission Appeals in Catholic parishes throughout England are allocated to us each year. We are very grateful to all the generous people we meet in this way who help us to support our work overseas.

Sisters are also involved in a small way in local charitable and ecumenical work, and are engaged with others in addressing the problems faced by the immigrant community and in the issue of human trafficking. MMM students may also be based in these communities.
