The Sisters' Work
Colima
Vasco de Quiroga: The Vasco of Quiroga School of Social Work was established to empower youth from rural communities with social work skills to help transform their communities. The school offers high school and bachelor’s degrees, along with affordable room and board, to support students who do not have the possibility of accessing other educational institutions. The school is an option for our society to have “light and life” (motto of the institution). MEUS is actively fundraising for scholarships and school equipment.
La Armonia: The Sisters support a preschool and elementary school as teachers and administrators.
Casa Nazareth: Casa Nazareth is a retirement community for elderly and sick Sisters who need an increased level of care. The Misioneras de la Eucaristía and support staff assist them with daily activities and provide 24-hour care.

Jalisco
Cerro del Cuatro Community in Guadalajara: The Sisters coordinate the Parish Shelter for migrants,helping migrants with immediate needs like food, shelter, clothing, and medical assistance. They seek to accompany and serve migrants and people from the parish community, from their Eucharistic-missionary vocation, recognizing their human dignity and promoting the vindication of their human rights, and to make them feel the love that God has for them.
Our Lady of Refuge Parish: The Sisters work providing support to pastoral ministries of the church.
Michoacan
Community of Chavinda: Together with a lay team, the Sisters run a daycare center for the elderly, established in their convent. In 2013, an investigation was conducted to identify the main problems facing the population of Chavinda. One significant issue was the abandonment of the elderly, as the town has a predominantly older population. Many younger relatives have migrated to the USA, and a number of elderly residents never married. Collaborating with the pastoral agents of the Parish of Santa María de Guadalupe, the community conceived the idea of a day stay to provide dignified care for the elderly, who often live alone despite having housing. In 2014, training for geriatric caregivers began to provide care within the convent and to prepare the necessary facilities, including a dining room, bathrooms, a covered courtyard, and an entrance with a ramp.
Oaxaca
Community of Cozoaltepeque: The Missionaries of the Eucharist initiated a mission on September 1, 2011, to support 48 predominantly Zapotec communities in and around San Francisco Cozoaltepec, Oaxaca. They lead several vital initiatives: "Mi Corazon Vive," a cooperative for women practicing alternative medicine to address common ailments affordably; "Mujeres Bordando Sueños," a cooperative for women artisans creating economic opportunities through hand-embroidered textiles; and a food pantry providing groceries to local families. They also manage Savings Banks to promote financial literacy and savings, and organize emergency response teams, such as their extensive support following Hurricane Agatha in 2022. Additionally, the Sisters run a Youth and Vocational Ministry, accompanying six youth groups to deepen their faith and understanding of Jesus' teachings.

Community of Nogales: The Sisters are a part of the Kino Border Initiative—a binational initiative providing migrants with food, clothing, shelter, medical, social and legal services.
Community of Agua Prieta: The Sisters support women and their families through an education center that promotes the empowerment of women and leadership in the “La Ladrillera” neighborhood, and they collaborate in serving migrants deported from the United States, Douglas, Arizona, into Agua Prieta, Mexico.
