With every new group of young women who enter our community, there is an opportunity given to them to better know the diocese in which they will live and serve. This program in our formation process is called our “Diocesan Church Tour Experience”. On it, novices are given the chance to visit several of our diocesan churches to learn about our local history, and to pray in a spirit of thanksgiving for all the good God has done in our parish communities, especially through our priests.

"I ask to be permitted to live the life of a Marian Sister of Santa Rosa.
Drawn by God’s mercy, I have come here to learn your way of life.
I ask you to teach me to follow Jesus Christ Crucified
and to live generously in poverty, chastity and obedience ..."

Co-Workers in Redemption

11/15/2023

“The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.”
(Gen. 2:15) In the beginning man and woman worked but it was with ease and delight for they were in right relationship with God, each other, and all of creation. After the sin of Adam man continued to work, but now it was toilsome and difficult: “…cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life…in the sweat of your face you shall eat bread” (Gen. 3:17, 19). With the triumph of the Incarnation of Christ and the Redemption He has won for us man is still invited to work – to be co-workers in the redemption of souls through the mission of the Church.
