Does living the Christian call of Baptism with others energize and challenge you?
The three congregations within the Canadian Federation are continuing this mission of the unifying love of God. We invite you to fullness of life through union within yourselves, with each other, with God and the whole of creation.
In 1650 six ordinary women came together to serve their neighbour. Living together, they nourished their lives with regular prayer and sharing of their experiences of God’s love and compassion to persons in need.
Do you feel this same desire to live this way in our world today? Contact a Vocation Director in one of our Canadian Congregations and explore your opportunities with us.
This series of Vocational Vignette videos - created by the Federation Vocation-Animation Committee - describes important aspects of religious life as well as offers testimonials from several sisters.
