Our Mission and Spirit - Sisters of Our Lady of Christian Doctrine

Vision Statement

The community of the Sisters of Our Lady of Christian Doctrine is an apostolic diocesan congregation with a call to glorify God by its commitment to Jesus through prayer, a simple lifestyle, celibate love and Christian charity. Strengthened by and building on this way of life, we are intent on sharing our lives and energies in various ministries in obedience to congregational authority.

In the spirit of the Incarnate Word, the congregation stands ready to meet the needs of the people of God by proclaiming the gospel message through Christian doctrine and through related ministries within the Church. The sisters take public vows of chastity, poverty and obedience and live a simple lifestyle in community. This vowed commitment affirms our purpose, spirit and desire to strive for holiness.
