Our new window. What do YOU see in it?
Prayer flows from our relationship with God who loves us and invites each of us to know and experience this love in daily Eucharist and in all the people and events in our lives. Each day we set aside time for private prayer and sacred reading. Four times daily we chant the Liturgy of the Hours, celebrating the mystery of God among us. Spiritual reading, study, and quiet days nourish our prayer. Out of this rhythm of prayer, we trust that Jesus is becoming more alive in us and in those who are part of our day.
Prayer provides a steady rhythm for the Sisters’ daily life. In our international Order, begun in 1610 in Annecy, France, Visitation Sisters embrace the spirituality of our founders, St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane Frances de Chantal who chose the motto, LIVE JESUS to describe the Visitation way of life. The Gospel story of Mary’s visit to her cousin, Elizabeth (Luke 1:30-56) continues to inspire, refresh and direct this way of “living Jesus,” Put yourself in that story! When have you identified with Mary, saying “yes” to God and giving God permission to direct your life? When have you identified with Elizabeth, welcoming God’s presence in your midst?

In our urban ministry, we choose to reach out in a special way…
- to companion and affirm those who are impoverished and lonely — those living on the fringes of society.
- to support those committed to a ministry of peace and justice by sharing our Salesian spirituality with them.
- to educate and network with those who, in being materially secure, seek ways of growing in faith, hope and love by bridging with people in our multi-cultural community.
- to provide spiritual formation for those affiliated with us in a variety of ways.
