Our Formation
"I desire nothing more than, with the grace of God
to be the least and offer myself as a sacrifice
for the work of spreading the faith."
- Bl. Josepha Hendrina Stenmanns
Requirements
We welcome women
between the ages of 20 and 40 who:
Feel called by God to a religious - missionary life;
Enjoy good physical
and mental health;
Are able to help others
and who are open to personal
and professional growth;
Want to share their lives and faith with other women
who have similar goals.
Process of Formation
For us, Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters, formation is
a continuous process
of encountering our God and responding to God's creative Word.
Therefore, our missionary formation is a life-long journey of conversion
and transformation in Christ.
While the transformation is primarily the work of God's Spirit in us,
it demands our personal response.
Our formation process enables us to know Christ more deeply,
to grow in the capacity
for greater self-giving.
We seek to develop and use all our God-given talents
in the service of others.
