Sisters of St. Joseph of CarondeletMarch 10, 2010

We Give God Thanks!

The Spirit calls us to commit ourselves freely to God and to one another in community. Through public vows of chastity, poverty and obedience, we promise the lifelong gift of self to God for all persons without distinction. Responding in a radical way to the Gospel, we direct the whole of our being to God in prayer and love, making ourselves available to share in the mission of bringing all persons to freedom and oneness in God.

We use our gifts generously in embracing the command of Jesus: pray, heal, teach, love and forgive. In gentleness, peace and joy, we strive to become more loving and effective instruments of Christ’s zeal, knowing he is faithful in accompanying God’s mission through us.
 
Local communities and other groups within the congregation are encouraged to celebrate together the special events in the lives of the members, the congregation, the church and the nation. (Constitution, Complementary Document)
