OUR ARRIVAL
On August 14, 2026 we established our convent in Ave Maria, Florida. There, we offer our prayer and religious presence to the vibrantly Catholic community, Ave Maria University and Ave Maria Catholic Academy.
There, our young Sisters pursue higher education at the University, seeking sound spiritual and religious formation as well as the pedagogical skills needed to be professional educators and bring souls to Christ by their evangelical witness in our schools.
Apostolic Work
The Community of Sisters serves the University students in Campus Ministry through events and spiritual support, as well as, through sacristy work, taking care of the many chapels throughout the campus in the beautiful labor of caring for our Eucharistic Lord.
The Sisters also serve in Ave Maria Catholic Academy, bringing the joy of their religious presence to all the classrooms and helping with catechesis. They also aid with sacristy work through the Handmaids of the Eucharist sacristans´ group for junior high and high school girls.
