We are men and women who find ourselves drawn to, attracted by and fired with the CHARISM and SPIRIT of Nano Nagle and the Presentation Sisters.
There are over 200 of us in England.

We desire to live more deeply our Gospel Call within our personal and professional lives.
We wish to share in the Prayer, Scripture reflection and action that is imaged in Doing Justice in the Way of Jesus.
We partner the Presentation Sisters in our mutual call to challenge injustice in whatever way we experience it locally and globally in our daily lives.
We strive together to create a world in which we see ourselves as stewards of God's creation where every person is equal and the earth is reverenced.
Life in its Fullness
The vision of the Presentation Associates is to make present in the here and now the Call of Jesus in the Gospels to bring life in its fullness and to live this in the way of Nano Nagle.

"I am an Associate because I believe my individual voice is strengthened and released to speak more clearly on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves."
"I experience being an Associate as truly life-giving in ways I would not have imagined."
"Being an Associate has opened my eyes to my responsibilities as a Christian and as member of the Church so that now I can be convinced and courageous about the Gospel message and Nano Nagle's response to it as imagined in the mission of the Presentation Congregation."
"Being an Associate has emphasised for us that we are called to be people of hope, joy and celebration in a world where hope is sometimes dimmed."

Wherever there is a presentation Convent you will very likely find an Associate group.

If you can share in the spirit of Nano Nagle as you have heard it and you feel you would like to be partners in bringing about the reign of God, contact your local Presentation Convent

I am doing a new deed - do you not see it? (Isaiah 43:19)

The spiralling energies of God
Defy containment. The Spirit sweeps aside
Our fragile windbreaks, and with a shout
Summons us beyond where untouched ground
Waits bare for planting.
Like water freed from patient holding rock
Our God's newness floods across the land
till every arid place will sway green-gold.
Not yet - not yet - it is only seedtime yet.
Then let us seize the time and run with it,
Sow broadcast now what other hands will reap,
Become the seed that in its death gives life.
O who would hold back now all's to give
And every fibre yearns to be drawn deep
Into the holy purposes of God!
For there will be a harvest and a feast
Where all the hungry ones will have their fill
And all the broken leap with joyous life.
See! Already springs this newness from the void.
See! Already now the Centrepoint draws all.
Already dawns the seventh day.
