Community living includes prayer, study, service and a common concern for others' needs. Community serves as the basis for our mission and ministries.
The task of common life is the building up of one another as members of one body. In community we challenge each other to growth. Mutual support renews our confidence and leisure recreates out spirits.
Community is enriched when each member places her talents and insights, as well as her material goods, at the service of the community. Periodic community gatherings such as regional meetings and the annual convocations provide a forum for each sister's participation in the leadership of the congregation.
Hospitality is a key feature of our communities. |
