Who are we?
We are women called and consecrated to live a life of holiness. We journey together, embracing the radical vision of Jesus, in the spirit of our founder Venerable Nano Nagle. We are called to be mystics and prophets while responding to the needs of the time, infused with the courage to daringly confront the complexities of our postmodern Courtesy Mary Sourthard CSJ world. With Nano as our guiding light our charism is to proclaim the Gospel message with compassion and inclusivity, honoring dignity and distinctiveness of each individual; we empower women who join us to face the challenges of our era with confidence, resilience, and faith.
