Become a sister

If you feel a desire inside of you and you don’t have words for it…
If you search for a new place to call home…
If you want to live in a community on the way, together with others like you…
If you discover small, hidden signs within your life…
…then you should get to know us!

God became Man, and he lives inside of us. The incarnation of God is the core of our spirituality. Our congregation is part of the roman-catholic church, and as Franciscans we live the gospel. We honor the dignity of every human being, stand alongside the weakest in our society, give them a voice and help with new beginnings.

If you feel a longing to live your life in that spirit, we invite you to contact us!

The education to become a sister within our community usually lasts six years. The process is fostered by different steps: Candidacy (six months), postulancy (one year), novitiate (two years) and juniorate (three years). Candidates and postulants get to know our congregation and deepen their relationship to God. Novices and junior sisters learn to conduct their life based on sacred vows (poverty, celibacy and obedience).
