Our Apostolate

We are vowed Catholic women religious who, in response to Christ's prayer 'That they may be one' (Ut Sint Unum), dedicate ourselves to bringing about unity and healing in a broken world.

Charism/Spirituality: Our charism is, 'THAT THEY MAY BE ONE' ("Ut Sint Unum")

Our Spirituality is:
♦ Rooted in a simple faith in God's love and caring providence and in a hope which clings to, and responds to that love in all circumstances of life.
♦ Trinitarian: Our relationship to God the source of all Being, Eternal Word and Holy Spirit enlivens our motto'Sint Unum'.
♦ Ecclesial: Through the Church, we enter the paschal mystery both sacramentally and in living union with one another in the Body of Christ.
♦ Apostolic: Aware that we are called to bring the knowledge and love of God to all whom we serve in Christ's name, we seek to be contemplative in our prayer and in all aspects of our lives.
♦ Holistic: We desire to respond to God's love through all the powers of our being- a unity of body, mind and heart.

Information about Founder:
