Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?

Vocationist Sisters

"The Sisters of the Society of the Divine Vocations more commonly referred to as The Vocationist Sisters, is a Congregation of Catholic Sisters founded by Fr. Justin Russolillo in the year 1921. The Vocationist Sisters presently serve God’s people in Italy, France, Brazil, Argentina, United States, the Philippines, India and Nigeria. Their field of work is: appostolate in the parishes, schools and missions aimed at identifying and guiding young people who seem to show signs of divine call to consecrated life.

"The Vocationist Sisters take the simple vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. They believe in and practice a strong and steady community life and wear a religious habit.

"The Vocationist Sisters do not limit their invitation to join their Congregation only to young girls; they extend it to all women whose present status allows them to enter Religious Life. Hence, any mature woman, widows included, with no family obligations and in good health, may apply for admission to the community. There is no specific educational requirements. Good will, determination to become a saint, attraction to the sisterhood and community life are what is necessary."
