Sisters of theVisitation


Community and Ministry
Community life calls us together by the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus to be a real family. We model the love of Mary and Elizabeth in the joyful mystery of the Visitation. We support one another in care and concern, helping each other to discover our unique gifts and to accept our limitations. In a spirit of generosity and gratitude to God we share our gifts in community and self-giving service.

Our primary ministry is PRAYER! We also possess a unique aspect to our monastic contemplative vocation. We have various opportunities of sharing the fruits of our prayer life with others. This is offered through teaching Religion in our private girls’ Academy, welcoming retreatants for“time alone with God”, associate programs and formation programs for our Daughters of St. Francis de Sales.
