Infant Jesus Sisters St Francis Catholic Hospital Jambutu-Yola
St Francis Catholic hospital Jambutu is owned by the catholic diocese of Yola and is managed by the Infant Jesus Sisters. “We rejoice in the gift and enrichment of belonging to an international institute and in the new life that collaboration continues to bring to us. Let us seek new ways to share our gifts and prepare the way for the broken and wounded to receive the touch of God’s healing love and also become wounded healers”.
It is in the light of sharing our gifts that we, the Infant Jesus sisters in Nigeria have diversified our apostolates from education to health care service. Presently we have a sister who works in St Francis Catholic hospital Jambutu in Yola Adamawa state.
Collaboration within the institute calls us to strengthen our bonds with one another and with lay faithful at continental and international level. Living the richness of our cultural diversity is a witness to harmony in the face of a broken and divided world. Let us seek new ways to share our gifts and prepare the way for the broken and the wounded to receive the touch of God’s healing love”.
