DISCERNING A CALL TO RELIGIOUS LIFE?  

Picture
 STILL SITTING ON THAT FENCE?
​

Do you feel called to do something extraordinary with your life? Still confused where God may be calling you?
Did you know you can still be a doctor, lawyer, social worker, youth minister and still be a Sister?
We invite Catholic, single women, between the ages of 18-45 who are considering a call to consecrated life to a retreat experience or a vocation visit. 
A retreat can be insightful, peace-filled, and your spiritual connection to the purpose you have been seeking throughout discernment. Retreats can help move you forward to action in following God’s will.  Just give us a call at (812) 933-6417 or (513) 504-4276 to arrange for this special retreat or visit.

​Discernment Prayer

Loving Creator, discerning major life decisions is hard enough.
Please free the hearts of those discerning a religious vocation.
Take away the heartfelt anxiety one can experience when speaking to family and friends about picking up their cross to follow Jesus.
Allow their ears to be open to listening to You during this discernment process. 
But most of all, please allow their hearts to be filled
​with the very presence of You and bring peace to their hearts. 
We pray this in the name of Jesus,
Your son who also left all to follow Your will. 

(Sr. Kathleen Branham, OSF)

We welcomed her with a beautiful, prayerful ceremony filled with a lot of emotion for Maureen. Indeed, she will be a blessing to the Community.

WELCOME MAUREEN!
