Our people
The Missionary sisters of service
Highways and Byways was established in 2019 by the Missionary Sisters of Service (MSS) to continue their vision and mission into the future. The MSS Stewardship Council appoints the Board of Highways and Byways to govern our organisation. We are indebted to the extraordinary vision and generosity of the Missionary Sisters of Service enabling Highways and Byways to flourish and grow.
