Women Religious


A woman religious is a lay person who commits herself to Christ and to the Church by vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.  She lives in a religious community that follows a constantly renewed tradition, patterned on the life and teaching of the founder of the community.  The work she generally does will depend up on the particular community as influenced by the needs of the Church and its people, and includes such ministries as pastoral; social service; education (in many forms and ways)/ hospital/ medical/ youth/campus; missionary; retreats/conferences/ spiritual direction; peace and justice; evangelization/faith formation; creative expression through music, the arts, etc.; work with the poor/ elderly /broken/ oppressed and distressed and so on.

 

The role of women in the Church is constantly developing and expanding.  Prayer and work are part of the tradition of all communities yet some are primarily contemplative while others are more active.  Information about the vocation of a woman religious can be secured by contacting:
