At this moment in our history we want to focus our energies anew, in an act of hope, in response to God’s call discerned through our charism and the needs of our time. We choose as Province to orient our life and apostolic service toward:
- joining the poor in the struggle for resources and conditions essential for human well-being, recognizing that education is central to this effort and to our vocation;
- working against racism, sexism, and violence of every kind, recognizing in these forces a call to become, in truth, women who build communion.
Further,
- in order to realize our priorities, we commit ourselves in our planning to make those choices that will help to make our lives and work consistent with them.
Certain central dimensions of our lives undergird these priorities and are constitutive of our vocation. Without them, we would lack both the contemplative vision to shape the priorities and the spiritual strength to live them out. Specifically, these include a life rooted:
- in prayer, contemplation, and attention to the woundedness of humanity,
- in our call to be educators grounded in the spirit of the Society,
