Community Life

"Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are My disciples."

Since all have the same ideal, our Sisters follow the same spiritual way, observe the same Constitution, follow one tradition, pray together, do apostolic works together, rest and recreate together, and perform other works in common life.

Life of Prayer

Being drawn by God the Father through the strength of the Holy Spirit to live a life more closely united with Jesus Christ, our Sisters positively carry out His precept: “Pray always” (Lk 18:1).

Our life of prayer consists of the following:

– The Holy Mass
– Adoration of the Holy Eucharist
– Liturgy of the Hours
– The Holy Rosary
– Spiritual Reading
– Daily Examination of Conscience
– The Stations of the Cross
– Monthly and Annual Recollection
– Special Devotions

Recreation

While we spent hours for labor, wealso have time for relaxation and recreation with each other.  Community time is essential to build a firm and loving congregation in the life of the Church.

Our recreation activities included traveling, entertainment, and sports.

Labor

Becoming poor as Christ,  our Sisters willingly labor with diligence, perseverance, and responsibility.

We have and will pray to the special model found in Saint Joseph, the Guardian of our Congregation.  Saint Joseph was the diligent worker in the spirit of service and humility.
