Mission  

Our order supports the priesthood in all its forms, through work in seminaries, in diocesan offices, and parishes. We have houses in the United States, in Menlo Park, CA (near San Francisco), New York, NY, Chicago, IL and Mundelein, IL. We also have houses thoughout Mexico and a house in Rome, Italy. We are governed by a General Council made up of women from the order. We live a common life of work, song and prayer.

Through our work in seminaries, in diocesan offices, parishes, catechesis, and designing vestments, we engage in the mission of priests. Essential to our mission is our common life of work, song and prayer.
