Why on Earth Be a Catholic Sister? - Feb. 28

Why on Earth Be a Catholic Sister? - Feb. 28

If you’ve ever wondered why anyone chooses religious life, then you might want to join the Dominican Sisters of Springfield on February 28 to find out.

Perhaps you think that God might be calling you to consecrated life. Or—maybe just the opposite—you have difficulty understanding why on Earth someone would choose to be a Catholic sister today.

40-minute virtual gathering
showcase of the sisters’ ministries
Time for Q&A
Free gift!

Today the Dominican sisters serve in education, healthcare, pastoral ministry, social transformation, justice advocacy, and commitments to the care of creation, antiracism, and the accompaniment of immigrants and others who are marginalized by society. Many of these ministries will be highlighted during the event.

A highlight of the evening will be a top-ten reveal of the sister’s reasons they believe God’s call to religious life is essential in the 21st century. Participants will receive a PDF poster they can print and a set of infographics to print and share.

Free Virtual Zoom Event
07:00 PM - 07:40 PM on Fri, 28 Feb 2025
