The process of becoming an Ursuline Sister

Once you've made the initial contact with the vocation director and decide you want to go forward, the next step is called the "discernment process."

This is the time for us to get to know you and for you to learn more about us. This process enables you to discover God's call to you and the relationship of that call with the Ursuline Congregation. We will assist you with your ongoing efforts to determine if God is calling you to become a member of this community. Our congregation will also have an opportunity to discern if you have the potential to become an Ursuline Sister.

 

What will following this call allow me to do? With whom will I work?

Becoming an Ursuline Sister will allow you to follow your heart's calling, in a nurturing and supportive community. We will help you assess your special gifts and talents and turn those into a positive force for doing God's work in this world. Whether you want to teach, minister to the sick, work with adults with disabilities, help women find avenues out of poerty, or counsel the elderly, you will find the means and the ways to put your talents to use. And, you will become part of a caring, loving group of women, joining in community gatherings as you continue to grow and develop in your relationship with Christ.
