Founder:  Reverend Placid Guste, S.M.P.

Place:  Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Year:  1966 A.D.

Her Charism:  Primarily contemplative, this Sister is called to a vowed life of simplicity, evangelical poverty, consecrated chastity, and Christ-like obedience.  Her desire is to become a spiritual mother, fostering in others the love of Christ Crucified.  Like a Mother of Peace, she will quiet all human fear and turmoil and draw children to her heart – that “house of gold” – where Christ reigns supreme.  Prayer, silence and solitude are at the heart of her vocation, calling her – body and soul – “into the desert” to consecrate her life fully to heavenly life.  Rooted in the Gospel and in the teachings of St. John of the Cross and in the writings of St. Teresa of Ávila, this Sister is an unbounded generous victim for the Lamb of God who brings Jesus and His Church into focus and within human reach through door-to-door evangelization and private retreats,
