… but don’t feel consecrated life is the right path for them, joining the Family of Sion as a friend or associate of the Congregation can be an alternative that fits. It lets you build on the foundations you already have, and gives you an opportunity to connect with our guiding principles and with others like yourself, without forgoing your normal life.
There are lots of different ways to get involved: each woman or man has to follow their own individual call. You might start by following a course on a Biblical or interfaith theme, online or at one of our centres. You might join a sister running catechesis sessions in your parish. You might take part in a project at a Sion school or with a local Sion community.
The level of your involvement can also vary. Some people join us in our ministry, without undergoing any specific training. Others follow a formation plan to gain a firmer understanding of our commitment, and begin to express this understanding in their own life. Those who feel called to do so consolidate their engagement by making a formal commitment to Notre Dame de Sion as an associate.
The love for our guiding principles unites all members of the Family of Sion – vowed and non-vowed.
If you’re drawn to the way the mission of the sisters of Our Lady of Sion is lived so much that you want to incorporate it in your life, your work and your family, contact us.
