Sisters with women who are learning about joining the Motherhouse

Come & See

When the apostles John and Andrew first met Jesus, He invited them to “Come and see” (John 1:35ff). Jesus extends the same invitation when He calls young women to consider a vocation to religious life. We host various discernment opportunities at our Motherhouse in Mishawaka, Indiana, to open the door for young women to “come and see” our way of life totally dedicated to our Divine Bridegroom.
