How do I know which religious order will be right for me?

Answer

Each religious congregation has a particular spirit and manner of life. You need to ask yourself where you will best be able to place your gifts at the service of the Church and which congregation is best suited to nurture and challenge you in your relationships with Jesus Christ and the People of God. Visiting or speaking with sisters of different congregations is invaluable in learning more about them.
