"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

 

We accept women from the ages of 18 to 35 years old who are in good physical and psychological health, and who have a generous heart to serve Christ and others.  If you are discerning a religious vocation and are interested in our community, please feel free to contact us and we can discuss the possibility of a visit. 


 

Discernment Retreat:

We host Discernment Retreats once or twice a semester. They include talks on reliigous life, discernment, and our community as well as prayer, recreation and meals with the Sisters. We recommend these retreats for a first visit.  They are usually held beginning on a Friday evening and closing Sunday afternoon. Our next Vocation Discernment Retreat is being held September 19th-21st, 2008 . There will also be one held October 30th- November 2nd, 2008

Come & See:

Those women who have been to a Vocation Discernment Retreat and are interested in living our way of life can contact us about the possibility of attending a Come and See experience.   A Come and See allows you to enter into the schedule and daily routine of the sisters.  These retreats are as well over a weekend but can be extended if desired. Our next Come and See Experience is being held Thanksgiving weekend November 26th-30th, 2008.

One of our Sisters wrote a poem about the two vocations of marriage and religious life.  Her reflections come from  watching her identical twin sister grow into her vocation of marriage as she embraces her own vocation to religious life.  It is a beautiful comparison of the two vocations: Click here to view:  Love Lives by Sacrifice
