Is God calling you to the cloistered, contemplative life of a Visitandine?

General Requirements:  Catholic woman, single or widowed, 18-45 years of age (older vocations considered exceptionally), reasonable health, emotional maturity, freedom from financial obligations.

We do allow young girls and women who feel they may have a vocation to our way of life, to come and make a retreat within the enclosure. The retreatant lives in the Novitiate Dormitory and follows the novitiate schedule of prayer, study, work and recreation with the novitiate sisters. A letter of recommendation from a qualified person (Spiritual director, pastor, priest, religious — someone who knows the retreatant well enough to do this) is required before she is accepted to make a retreat.
