“...We must be convinced that the most sublime charity is spiritual charity, that is, the commitment for the salvation of souls.”
(Pope John Paul II, Albano, Aug. 14, 1979).

While a sister may be engaged in any number of pursuits, our congregation has always had three primary apostolates:

  1. Publishing and selling books on the Faith throughout the United States.

  2. Preparing children for First Holy Communion, catechetical work with children and adult convert classes.

  3. Community prayer including Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction, chanting the Divine Office, and recitation of the Holy Rosary. These prayers support the most important Catholic worship: the daily Sacrifice of the Holy Mass.

There are also ample opportunities for sisters to apply and develop skills nursing, secretarial and administrative work, and farming.
