Yesterday, we spent the day with @uiwcardinals at the University of the Incarnate Word in their Student Center speaking with students about vocations. It is always wonderful to chat with young people discerning the future. How is God calling you?

As Pope Francis says, your specific vocation “will bring you more joy and excitement than anything else in this world. Not because that gift will be rare or extraordinary, but because it will perfectly fit you". We invite you to pray and discern with God and with our order.

This weekend's Oct. Discernment Retreat was a wonderful experience for our new friends to discern, pray, and discuss their call to enter the order. Do you feel called to become a Sister? Send us a message today.

In the poor and underserved we see the very face of Christ himself. As Sisters, we serve as chaplains in hospitals, prisons, and nursing homes. We are parish ministers, spiritual directors, and nurses. We care for orphans and youth at risk. We advocate for the care of creation.
