Do you feel called to respond to
God's love for you?
The Sisters of the Visitation welcome you to experience our monastic
life.
Join us in celebrating the Liturgy of the Eucharist,
singing the Divine Office
and LIVING JESUS in Community.
The Sisters
of the Visitation celebrate 400 years of LIVE † JESUS
Jesus said, "Come and see"
I wanted a better relationship with the Lord and a life of prayer and community.
Today I live with 22 other women who are responding to their call. This window offers me a view of relationships with others who are following the Lord.
Ministry -- Prayer is our call.
We pray the Liturgy of the hours four times a day. We pray one hour and a half and do spiritual reading for one half hour also.
The overflow of this activity carries us into our school to teach or counsel or pray with students.
Some Sisters have small prayer groups with adults that meet in our monastery for shared prayer.

Spiritual Life
Our life in community includes Liturgy of the Eucharist each day and Liturgy of the Hours four times a day together in the chapel. In this way we support the whole Church by praising God. We also have time for contemplative prayer and spiritual reading each day. We have our meals and recreation together.
We also have community duties within the monastery.
We love our life in the Lord!
Our Identity
We identify with Mary and Elizabeth in the mystery of the Visitation of carrying Christ to others in joy and gentle service.
We were founded in 1610 in Annecy France by St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal who believed that holiness could be found in our everyday normal life experiences.
Our motto, Live Jesus, is an invitation and a goal for us each day to be carried out in our thoughts, words and actions through this window of opportunity.
