"Trusting in the grace the Lord has given me, I am firmly resolved for the glory of God, to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ as perfectly as possible.

Therefore, in the presence of the community of my sisters, I vow to God to live until death, in obedience, poverty, and chastity, according to the Rule of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis given by Pope John Paul II and According to the Constitution of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration, approved by the Holy See.

With all my heart I entrust myself to this religious family, that through the operation of the Holy Spirit and the intercession of the Blessed and Immaculate Virgin Mary, our Holy Father Francis, St. Clare, St. Elizabeth and all the saints, and with the support of my sisters, I may fulfill my consecration in the service of God and the Church."

Our sisters are supported in their ongoing formation by participating in community events, making an annual retreat, communally setting aside a special day each month for reflection, participating in faith-sharing groups, and gathering with each other for monthly renewal discussions.

Does our way of life attract you? Jesus may by inviting you to live the Good News of His Eucharistic Presence through the charism of the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration. We welcome your questions and encourage you to come on a retreat.  Listen to the voice of the Bridegroom as He calls you love Him with an undivided heart. Remember, God is never outdone in generosity
