"A vocation is all about love. It is a life of love in a concrete, particular form that comes from God. Each vocation begins with His love for us. In that love for you, He is calling you to a particular form of life. This love involves first His total gift of Himself to you, and then in response your total gift of self to Him."
Visiting a community of sisters can be a helpful step in discerning your vocation. Throughout the year we offer various opportunities for young women who desire to learn more about our Community. Ranging from short visits, retreats, to live-in experiences, these “come and see” opportunities are held in our various communities in the USA and Canada.
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
