To Be A Nun “A Wonderful Decision”

Posted by Sister Norma Raupple on January 17th, 2011

Sister Mary Ann Coz lives at the Ursuline Motherhouse at 4250 Shields Rd. where she has been engaged in hard work as well as enjoyment in caring for the gardens and wildlife. Religious Life is a life-long way of life and a permanent commitment. A woman brings herself as she is with her unique gifts and temperament and throughout her life she responds to many opportunities, changing needs and evolving situations. Her relationships along the way also shape her life. Her life is enriched by being part of a religious community as she continues to respond to God’s love. Sister Mary Ann tells about how she has experienced meaning and fulfillment as an Ursuline Sister.

Sister Norma Raupple on February 21st, 2012: We offer a variety of ways that you can volunteer with us in our Ministries. We also have retreat opportunities that may be helpful to you. These would be ways that you can get to know some of the Ursuline Sisters.
Sister Therese Ann Rich on February 21st, 2012: We suggest a couple of steps…in your prayer ask God to give you direction in discerning this desire to become a nun. Secondly, you might want to get to know a few nuns in your location, see what their life entails, talk with them, volunteer with them.

Be assured of our prayers for your journey.
