What is an Associate?

An Associate is a person, committed to Christ, who feels called to share in the spirituality, mission and vision of the Sisters without becoming a vowed member.

Associate Class of 2012

Associates gathered during the Summer Gathering, 2011.

Sisters and Associates gather at Sant Helena in Brazil to bid Sr. Johanna farewell. The inscription reads:"Your mission inspired us to be women of action! Thank you Sr. Johanna!"

Our next Associate Weekend is scheduled for April 5-7, 2013, where the 2013 Associate Class will make their commitment.
