As part of an international congregation of religious women we live in companionship with others through community. Today, more than ever “people are crying out for authentic communities where they can share their lives with others in a common vision, where they can find support and mutual encouragement, where they can give witness to their beliefs and work for greater peace and justice in the world – even if they are frightened of the demands of community” (Jean Vanier).

“We are challenged to live a lifestyle that is simple - distancing ourselves from consumerism and materialism – a lifestyle that is appropriate to our call to be ‘with and for the poor’. (General Chapter 2007)
