What is a vocation?
Vocation means a holy calling, God’s call or a choice. In a narrow sense, it points to a priestly or religious vocation for those called to priesthood or religious life. In a broad sense, “vocation” means a call from God to a unique way of life like marriage, an occupation, etc., for each and every believer.

Are there any conditions for entering the Congregation?
One must be a mentally and physically healthy woman under the age of 35 who has been baptized for at least three years, has received the sacrament of Confirmation, has a high school education or higher, and has the desire to live a religious life.
If I am in poor health, can I join?
Religious life is a life of service to others, so one must be mentally and physically healthy; if one is not healthy, she will experience difficulties herself in living community life. Thus, one’s health is confirmed through a medical examination prior to entry.
