When You Think Of Women Religious, Do You Ever Wonder What Sisters Do?

Members of our Parish have most recently come together to form a Vocations Committee, and they want to invite you to join them in bringing vocation awareness to our Parish. The group meets again on July 19th, from 7PM-8PM. Please prayerfully consider joining this committee. You can submit your name and telephone number to the Rectory, and someone from the Committee will contact you. In the meantime, here's the answer to the question above:
A woman religious and her community look together at the needs of the Church and society to determine where to direct their energies. The way a particular sister spends her day depends, too, on the kind of community to which she belongs. Contemplative nuns often work to sustain their community in food and shelter -- doing tasks such as gardening, baking, computer data entry, or handiwork. Active (apostolic) communities are involved in a myriad of ministries -- usually with an emphasis on service such as education, social work, or parish pastoral work. The ministry choices for a woman religious arise from the founding purpose of her community, a prayerful discernment of her gifts, and an assessment within her community of the signs of the times.
