The first international ministry established by the Grey Sisters was founded in China in 1929, working closely with the Canadian missionaries of the Scarboro Foreign Mission Society. In 1951, ministries were established in Japan and the Dominican Republic.[4] In 1960, they founded a ministry in the Bahamas, and most recently in Ireland and Thailand in 1998.[2]
