Community

Living community

We live together in groups as committed Catholic women who have made vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience. Being nourished by community helps us:

• pray together
• support and challenge each other
• celebrate both our similarities and our differences
• walk together

as we try to respond to the mission of Jesus in our world.

Blessings of community

Our community life strengthens us as we take up the challenge of living based on the values of Jesus. When our individual gifts are shared, we all gain. We need and value the contributions each of us brings to the task at hand.

Do you think you are called to live in community? Take some time to review the following statements and see if they apply to you:

• I value working with people on a common goal, sharing the lives of those around me. I understand that living with others involves give and take.
• I value prayer and wish to strengthen my prayer life with others.
• I am open to exploring God's invitation to religious life as a means of living a life based on the values of Christ.
