Should I become a
religious sister?
God knows. You know (or will learn to know). But no one else knows if religious life is your calling; however, the Sisters of St. Francis are here every step of the way to give you the resources and enthusiastic support you need to help you find where God is calling you.
An excellent way to start the discernment process is by either contacting a vocation minister or joining one of our Come and See retreats with women just like you. Hopefully, the questions below will help you to begin discerning where God is calling you...
