VOCATION MINISTRY takes place on a monthly basis. I lead it each time, but always invite two different Felician Sisters to participate. We cover a variety of topics and the women get to meet a number of our sisters in North America.

One pair of sisters was Sr. Mary Rosalind Rosolowski and Sr. Grace Marie Del Priore. Sr. Rosalind ministers at the Attica Correctional Facility in New York State while Sr. Grace Marie is the archivist for Our Lady of Hope Province. As a result, the women were able to learn about the unique ministries our sisters can be involved in as well as the difference between what we call an “external” ministry and “internal” ministry.

27 women are currently in the

discernment or formation process.

The Felician Charism inspires us to imitate Blessed Mary Angela’s total availability. I used to think that availability referred to our physical presence with one another, but now I see that not even distance can limit availability in meeting the needs of conversation, accompaniment and communal prayer. h Would you like to join us? Reach out to Sr. Desiré at desimarie@feliciansisters.org to find out more about our Zoom groups and to get to know about life as a Felician Sister.
