We, the Sisters of the Visitation, are vowed contemplative women called to glorify and serve God through "humility toward God and gentleness toward neighbor" in a monastic way of life given to us by Saints Jane de Chantal and Francis de Sales.
Our community was founded from American roots by frontier women; it has developed with simplicity, openness and common sense; it is dedicated to ministries of prayer and education.
We need the mercy of God, the support of the universal and local church, and a prayer environment in order to be graciously present to ourselves, to one another, and to those we serve.
We hope to continue, like Mary, to discern and respond to God's will in a changing world, to "live Jesus," and to grace and be graced by God's people. |
