A woman who enters consecrated life chooses to deepen her baptismal commitment by taking vows which emphasize the values of prayer, loving service, and simple living in community with others. Consecrated women serve the Church and community in many ways, including: youth ministry, homeless and hungry, battered women, education, healthcare, family life and parish pastoral ministry. Some Sisters are totally dedicated to the contemplative life. The resources here are to help a discerning woman discover the next steps in her journey. May God bless you as you search for His holy will.
If you are not certain of your interest in a particular community or form of consecrated life, yet believe you may have a vocation to the consecrated life, the diocesan Director of Vocations may help you discern. They can suggest reading materials, arrange for visitations, answer questions and provide the spiritual guidance candidates need. Please contact the Director of Vocations and Seminarians for more information.
Une femme qui entre dans la vie consacrée choisit d'approfondir son engagement baptismal en prononçant des vœux qui mettent l'accent sur les valeurs de la prière, du service aimant et de la vie simple en communauté avec les autres. Les femmes consacrées servent l'Église et la communauté de nombreuses façons, notamment par le biais de la pastorale des jeunes, des sans-abri et des affamés, des femmes battues, de l'éducation, des soins de santé, de la vie familiale et de la pastorale paroissiale. Certaines sœurs se consacrent totalement à la vie contemplative. Les ressources proposées ici ont pour but d'aider une femme qui fait preuve de discernement à découvrir les prochaines étapes de son cheminement. Que Dieu vous bénisse dans votre recherche de sa sainte volonté.

Documentary (2015) following the stories of two women in their early twenties as they prepare to become nuns.. At the beginning of the 21st century, becoming a nun might seem like an extraordinary thing to do. Yet each year in Britain, a small but growing number of young women are giving up careers, boyfriends and everything they own to devote themselves entirely to God. So who are these women, and why are they willingly choosing lives of poverty, chastity and obedience?
As a correspondent for the Oprah Show, Lisa Ling traveled to the Congo, reported on North Korea and interviewed dangerous prisoners. Then, in 2010, Lisa went where she’d never gone before—inside a convent.
