What does a sister
do all day?
Our lives as sisters are to be a part of this world, but not of this world. God has called us, and we have answered His call to be: His eyes, hands, and feet. It is our duty. When the sun rises, so do we....
Rise to heaven. Rise to joy. Rise to love.

On the weekends, we serve in the following ministries: catechists at various different parishes (Chương Trình Giáo Lý), spiritual guidance to Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement (Thiếu Nhi Thánh Thế), and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion to the homebound (Thừa tác viên Thánh Thế ngoại lệ)
