Vision

Maintaining Our Household

Woman working in kitchenIt is our obligation to be good stewards of the facilities and grounds with which we have been entrusted.

There are many household duties, like those found in any home.  These include:

  • cooking and cleaning
  • obtaining and managing provisions of food and household supplies
  • building maintenance
  • tending the grounds and gardening

Ladies working with foodAs with any organization, we have a wide variety of administrative responsibilities which include: managing our valuable archival collection, financial management and care of our sick and elderly sisters.

Library cataloging is also an important task that helps support on-going formation.

While all this work is relatively ordinary, we offer it as part of our prayer in service to each other and to God’s people.
