Blessings and Peace to You!

If you are visiting our web-site and, in particular, our vocation page, you may be hearing the "still, small voice of God" calling you to religious life. Welcome to an amazing adventure! My name is Sister Paula Vasquez, and I am our congregation's contact person for women discerning a religious vocation.

Discerning God's will can be both rewarding and challenging, especially since one must determine if she is called to be a sister and, if so, to which religious congregation she is being called. God calls each of us in different ways and to different places, but the Spirit always seems to lead us in the direction that is best for us.

Discernment is a pilgrimage of the heart--a journey requiring prayer, reflection, exploration, and conversation with others. It is, then, a journey that should be made with "companions." We invite you to learn more about us and our Franciscan way of life by clicking on the various topics listed here. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Blessings on your journey!
