Her Charism:  This Sister loves and seeks Jesus just as Mary did with all her faith and hope.  Her charism is a total offering of her life for all those who are called to show forth in the Church and in the world, the characteristic attributes of Jesus: the chaste, the poor, the obedient One to the Father’s Will.  Before the Adorable Sacrament in silent prayer, this noble damsel in heart meets God face-to-face, rejecting the world and all its vanities.  She clings to Mary whose pure heart experienced great joy and deep agony as she faithfully accompanied Jesus along His life’s journey.  By assisting students preparing for the priesthood, educating the youth, and caring for the sick she shares the crown of martyrdom for the Church which requires zeal and persevering energy.
