Vocations

Becoming a Sister - A Call from God

• Do you feel your life is moving in a certain direction?
• Are there questions you have and would like to discuss them with someone?
• Are you interested in serving God's people?

Inquiry:

If you are searching and want to inquire about religious life:
Contact: Sr. Onellys Villegas, MHSH, the Vocation Director.
e-mail address: ovillegas@missionhelpers.org

Once the contact is made with the vocation director, a time could be discussed for you to meet with a Vocation Director or a sister who lives in your area to help discern your vocational call.

Some of the opportunities in coming to know us include visiting the Mission Center, retreats, spending time with the local community near by, participating in days of prayer, Mass, sharing a meal and experiencing our ministry.

Together through mutual discernment the Vocation Director and the woman discuss what the discernment process will look like. Each person's process is unique.
