WHAT IT TAKES

To live our vocation of a Sister of St. Mary, it is important that you have these qualities:

  1. an active faith or at least a real desire to grow in faith and to know the person and mystery of the Lord Jesus more intimately;
  2. a firm will; balanced personality; sufficient health. We require a physical examination by a medical doctor, a personality profile, and other aptitude tests as discerned. You need to be able to show that you are able to participate fully in our life and ministry.
  3. a desire and esteem for a simple life;
  4. a readiness to serve others and to love them to the point of self-sacrifice;
  5. a respectful concern and preference for the least of all and for the suffering.
If you wish to inquire further, you should consider the formation program.
