Sister Jean Peerenboom will profess her vows on August 8th.

As I reflect on my experience of entering a religiuos community, it is a journey that has been far from easy and comfortable, yet people tell me how happy and peaceful I look.  This puzzles me because I don't see it myself, and I certainly have felt stress and anxiety as part of the process.  Yet, a transformation has taken place, and I can only explain it by saying I found God's love and have made it part of me.  Once I let God in, the world looked like a different place to me--a happier, more welcoming place.

Vowed Membership

As Sisters, we profess the vows of Poverty, Consecrated Celibacy and Obedience.  We model our lives according to the Gospel, the sacramental life of the Catholic Church, the rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, our constitution Design for Life and the spirit of our founder Fr. Daems and our founding Sisters.

We believe that as Sisters in Community, we can be and do what we could be or do alone.   We live by the same ideals, share the burdens and joys of life, love each other and reveal God’s love to all.

We strive to be women of prayer and service who radiate warmth, joy and simplicity of life.

Sisters Regina Le Mere, Marietta Samz (seated), Gerald Lu Maye, Marie Therese Kintziger (seated), Clare Simon, Joanne Kinjerski, Mary Paul Thetreau, and Connie Wavrunek (seated).
