Meet Our Vocation Directress
You are receiving a wonderful gift from God. I understand the discerning process can be very confusing, scary and challenging. Maybe you are not sure about the next step. I have good news for you, be not afraid to trust in God, because He will guide you to every step.
In my own experience of discernment, having a prayer life, receiving the sacraments frequently, spending time with Him in adoration, having good spiritual direction, and trusting in God’s love for me, were the paths that led me to answer my call. Taking the step to visit communities was key in discovering where God was calling me. All of these steps require courage and a leap of faith. I believe you can do this!
Beloved daughter of God, it would be a joy to hear from you and of the wonderful things the Good Lord is doing in your life. Perhaps, you have felt the desire to follow Him more closely and you have questions about what a vocation is, or Religious Life in general, and/or our community. I invite you to fill out our Vocational Inquiry Form or contact us if you have questions. Know that I hold you in prayer and that I’m here to encourage and support you in your journey with God.
May the Holy Spirit and Our Blessed Mother give you all the graces you need.
God bless you!
In Our Lady,
Sr. Mary Pio
Praised be Jesus Christ! Now and Forever!
My name is Sr. Mary Pio, and I have the blessing to serve our community as Vocation Directress. In this role, I have the opportunity to help you and other women discern a vocation to the religious life. I thank God and Our Blessed Mother for giving me this opportunity to support and help you understand God’s love and the desires of your heart. My heart fills with joy knowing that God loves you so much and is ready to give you all the graces you need to answer His call.
My journey with God has always been a foundation of prayer, and having a deep relationship with Him. Throughout my early life, I kept close to God. Sadly, when God gave me the invitation to be His spouse, I wasn’t ready. My selfish reasons blinded me from recognizing His great gift in my life, a Religious Vocation. Through prayer and devotion to Our Blessed Mother, my reconversion brought me back to God again in a deeper way than before. In His Merciful love, God allowed me to experience His deepest love for me in the Blessed Sacrament. He reassured me not to fear but to trust in His love for me. In this trust, I answered my call to Religious Life. With filial joy, I am His spouse forever.
