Vocation
Everyone is invited by God to share in his life and love, and each of us has our own personal path as we journey into fullness of life with him.
Each path, or vocation, has its own character, demands, responsibilities and blessings.
A vocation to the Religious Life means, for the person involved, a total commitment of themselves to God within the Community to which he calls them.
The object of the Community of the Holy Name is to give glory to God. We believe God has called us into this way of life, and we dedicate ourselves to a radical following of Jesus, to the sharing of a common life within the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, seeking to honour his name in all things.
“What is wanted is not your works, but your being: not your gifts, but yourself.” ...Mother Esther.
