Our Charism:
Our Sisters live the charism of the Evangelical Spiritual Childhood. This spirituality is centered on Jesus Himself as He said: “I am the Way” (John 14:6), and “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 18:3).
This spirit consists of living out the privilege to be children of God as Jesus expressed His filial love to God the Father and to His Mother. Pope Pius XI said, “The spirit of Evangelical Spiritual Childhood consists of feeling and acting in the domain of virtues just like a child’s feeling and acting in the natural domain.”
