“What is a Sister?” a six-year-old girl asked her father after meeting her two aunts who are Sisters of St. Joseph. “What can I say?” he thought. “They no longer wear the long black and white habits with the crucifix and the big rosary beads. Nor do these two sisters of mine who are also ‘Sisters’ teach and nurse as they and most of the members of their Order used to do.” So after thinking for a while he said, “Well, a Sister is someone who gives her life to God, and who tries to help people to know about God and to live good lives.” The young girl seemed satisfied and even somewhat thoughtful with this response.

In our world in which there is a constant quest for deeper meaning and a growing interest in seeking it in the spiritual dimension of life, you yourself may even have asked the same question as this curious child. Who are these women who live in community, commit their lives to God through public vows, and strive to do all they can to make the world a more human place for everyone?
