The Call and The Lifestyle
 
A "Sister" is a Catholic woman whose needs, hopes and desires are much like any other woman's:  a need to love and be loved, a need for support; and a desire to share her gifts with others.
 
She may be a musician, a social worker, an educator; she may love to cook, to write poetry, to ski. But what binds these sisters together with their diverse interests is their desire to share their lives with each other in community, and to minister to God's people in a variety of ways.
 
In fact, these women share in the tasks of keeping up a home: cleaning and cooking, shopping and budgeting.  Their most important sharing is that which goes on through all these activities: a sharing of themselves, of their joys, sorrows, failures and successes. All of who they are, individually and together, is brought before the Lord in prayer. Each sister sets aside daily time for prayer. This is her way of centering her life in God and receiving God's strength and love for her. Praying as a community, the sisters offer worship and praise to God and express together their dependence on God.
