For the Families

Dear Families, Thank you for your openness to God's will as your daughter or sister discerns a religious vocation. It is an exciting time and one that requires much prayer and patience for all involved. Please know that we are praying for you! May our Lord help you to see the great joy that a religious vocation brings. Many of our families have shared with us their journey. We hope that this will be some help to you. Sincerely, |

"Let Jesus draw you to himself; bring him your important questions by reading the Gospels; let him challenge you by his presence, which always provokes in us a healthy crisis. More than anyone else, Jesus respects our freedom. He does not impose, but proposes. Make room for him and you will find the way to happiness by following him. And, should he ask it of you, by giving yourself completely to him."

Pope Pius XII
Do not be afraid of the holy vocation that has come down from heaven to rest upon your children. Is it not a great consolation, that makes a mother’s heart beat with love for her daughter, to see her consecrated to Christ, serving him and loving him with her whole being?
