We are a community of three sisters living in Waverley, Nova Scotia.
We witness to the value of Religious Life lived in community.
Ministering to one another, offering hospitality and being a service of Good Shepherd presence in the neighbourhood are some of our ministries.

      We remember in our prayer local issues and the needs of the world.
      We promote vocations through our Parish Vocation Committee, which was       initiated by one of our community members.

   Means of promoting vocations are:
          Encourraging parishioners to respond generously if one of their children/grand           children is called by God to become a priest, Decan or a Religious.
          By the distribution of a monthly prayer calendar reminding the parishnerers to           pray for the priests, decans and religious in the Diocese.

In Vancouver, we are four Sisters from a variety of ethnic backgrounds living in   community. Our mission is reconciliation, thus we are involved in a variety of     services and advocacy ministries, collaborating with parishes, other religious       congregations and community agencies.

        The sisters in collaboration with MOSAIC, a community settlement agency           spearheads the SCION Project. Thus we are involved with children and             adolescents under the age of 19 who are outside their country of origin without               parents or legal guardians; included are those seeking asylum, children               trafficked or exploited who may be undocumented and living on the margins               of society. Regardless of their status, they are first, children in need of               protection. This also requires us to be involved in the “anti human               trafficking” groups.

           One Sister responds to needs in the Vietnamese community, including Rite of           Christian Initiation for Adults, Cursillo Movement. She is also part of a Couples         Group and a Women’s Group, responding needs especially to families with their        children dealing with integration issues.

                        Being bearers of reconciliation in Pastoral Care Ministry with those                       who will soon be united with God in a long term care residence. In this                      ministry we train pastoral visitors. This is a rewarding and wonderful                     experience of God’s people… We are also bearers of God’s compassion                      and mercy in federal and provincial correctional institutions bringing the                        invitation to be reconciled with ‘self’, ‘God’, and ‘neighbour’.

                  Occasionally, hospitality is provided for a few days when this need arise                     for those in transition.

            We are all members of the Vancouver Sisters’ Association and actively       involved in the Vocation Team. For women searching to respond to God’s call, a “Come and See Program” is a regular event in our convent.
