o ur commitment to Gospel living and religious life in the church begins by first loving our sisters in community. Valuing this essential aspect of our life, we incarnate Gospel community through living a common life of prayer and recreation, fostering sisterly forgiveness and support, and taking initiative in creating an atmosphere of unity, love, and joy.
Some of our evenings allow us to enjoy various types of recreation together. We enjoy playing games, dressing up and putting on skits from time to time. We also meet regularly in small groups to share our lives and to support each other.
There are also times when we go away to enjoy our sisterhood in an informal setting - Vacation! |

"Because God loves us, the brothers and sisters should love each
other, for the Lord says, "This is my commandment, that you love one
another as I have loved you" (Jn 15:12). Let them manifest their love
in
deeds. " (TOR Rule )

"Sisterhood is formed
through spending time together, enjoying one another's presence, and
sharing the joys and challenges of daily life in our journey of
faith ."Our common life becomes
most joyful and life-giving when we each truly give ourselves to
creating an atmosphere of unity, love, and trust." |

Once a year we set aside a week to
celebrate our fraternal life, "Community Week". During this week
our evenings are spent in various activities such as a prayer meeting,
recreation, "dress up night", and our much
treasured "skit night". |

"Wherever they are, or in whatever situation they are in, they
should diligently and fervently show reverence and honor to one
another. They should also foster unity and communion with all themembers of the Franciscan family" (TOR RULE #3)
|
|
"Wherever
they are, or wherever they go throughout the
world they should not be quarrelsome, contentious, or judgemental towards
others.
Rather, it should be obvious that they are "joyful,
good-humored", and "happy" in the Lord as they ought to be." (TOR Rule#23)
