Pernet CLG is the incorporated name for Pernet Lay Associates Networking Together.

  • We are a group of people drawn to live our lives at a deeper level. We are grateful for the gift that is our life’s journey; for the privilege of being part of the great beauty of nature; for the joy, hope, healing and energy that our Christian faith discovers and unearths in us like hidden treasure.
  • We believe in the value and dignity of each individual. We seek justice for all whose opportunity for a full life is denied. We seek our own personal growth, and the growth of others around us–our families, communities and wider society.
  • We hold in common our connection with the Little Sisters of the Assumption and recognise in them a kindred spirituality. We support their mission of service to the family and the wider community.
  • We are glad to work with the Little Sisters in fulfilling their mission and to reach out in a variety of practical ways to those around us, both at home and abroad.

We work with Sister Imelda O’Sullivan to promote and implement the work of the ten groups under the PLANT umbrella. The purpose of these groups is to act upon the “charism” of The Little Sisters of the Assumption and to seek to share their core mission of bringing joy, hope and empowerment to society.
