Sister

Vocations for woman are very diverse and unique to each order of Sisters.

The choice of the ministry that a woman chooses arise from the founder's purpose of the community she joins. There was a specific charism developed in each community with varying prayer and community life. Woman called to become Sisters, take vows of obedience, chastity and poverty. They go wherever they are needed by their order.

The woman religious, as well as her community, look together at the needs of the church to decide which path to walk. How a sister spends her day also depends on the type of community. Active communities are involved with education, social work, parish work, just to name a few. Those sisters who join contemplative orders find their work in their communities. They may cook, garden or do craftwork. Their life is characterized by constant prayer.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord ... "plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
