Her Charism:  This Vocationist Sister lives in the footsteps of Jesus, following His chaste, poor, obedient way of life.  Her first duty is to “be with Him” and be His saint.  For the achievement of this union, she considers the whole world as a “great sanctuary” and works to search out and help form priestly and religious vocations, especially among the underprivileged.  She is an act of love, a gift of love, a conversion of love, and a communion of love.  Her ultimate goal is to help all attain Divine Union with the Blessed Trinity by means of universal sanctification of souls.
