Just as Jesus formed community with his disciples, so too do we as Pallottines form community.  In fact, community is the heart of our religious life.  As Pallottine Sisters we live community through shared living and prayer.

Being a member of community means adopting the culture, spirit and tradition of our religious order.  It creates a bond of love where each member supports the other in striving to reflect Christ in our lives.

To live in religious community, one must be open to the rewards and challenges that community life brings:  the joy of unity but also willing to die to self for the sake of the whole.  To live in community, one must be open to ongoing dialogue with each member of the community.

To live in community, one must be open to sharing and receiving the unique gifts and talents that each member brings to the common life.

While our congregation has a large presence within the lay communities in which we serve, we are a small religious community. Attributes of our community life include:

• Our sense of humor,
• Down to earth values,
• Not drawing attention to ourselves,
• Securing quality of life for our employees,
• Serving the poor in third world countries by sharing resources from the first world,
• Valuing the dignity and worth of each person and calling him or her to use the gifts that God has blessed him/her with,
• Creating awareness among those we meet that they, too, are called to be apostles of the Eternal Father.
