"Becoming a priest or a man or woman religious is not primarily our own decision....
Rather it is the response
to a call of love."
— Pope Francis —

A member of a religious order belongs to a community bound together by a common charism and the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
Each religious community is a special blessing in our church, with its particular mission and spirituality. Religious communities share much in common with each other, and yet, each one has its own unique spirit or 'charism.'
