Community Life

Our Life
"All must be friends, all must love one another, all must be cherished,
and all must help one another."
St Teresa of Jesus
We are a family of sisters, loving and supporting each other in our journey towards union with God, willingly placing our gifts and talents at the service of the community.

Two periods of recreation during the day when we come together to relax and talk, unite us all in a spirit of joyous sharing and help provide the balance needed in a life devoted to prayer.

“The fraternal life, in virtue of which consecrated men and women seek to become 'one heart and one soul' on the model of the earliest Christian communities, aims to be an eloquent witness to the Trinity.”
