Mission
As a contemplative community our primary
mission is to be women of prayer.
Rather than live this out in a
monastery we seek,
by preference, to live among those groups
that are inaccessible to other forms of Church ministry, are
minorities, or whose day to day life is marked by division,
racism, poverty or violence.
This way of Presence to others is
central to our life.
What we do is a very small thing but one
which we feel can be an important sign of hope and healing in a
broken world.
Not a passive approach,
"presence" is what we learn from Jesus through the
Incarnation. It is a dynamic way of simply placing
oneself within situations in such a way that one's very life
becomes rooted and dependent upon what happens there.
