Our vow to serve God is for life. However, we recognize that there comes a point that we may no longer be able to physically carry out a particular ministry. Our Congregations have convents where Sisters live and carry out other ministries more suitable to their age and medical condition. Our active ministries count on the prayer and wise council of our elder sisters.
