Return to the Vow

Before there was real estate. Before there were boardrooms. Before there were decisions made in silence… There was a vow. A vow of obedience, not opportunity. A vow of poverty, not profit. A vow of compassion, not convenience.This page is not a protest.

It’s a call — for every Sister who ever said “yes” to God…to remember what that “yes” really meant.

Poverty. Obedience. Compassion.

These weren’t strategies. They were sacred promises.

Poverty meant surrendering personal gain

Obedience meant yielding to God’s will above personal preference

Compassion meant elevating people over property, and legacy over profit

These were not symbolic ideals — they were lifestyles.

And these vows weren’t made to a community or board.

They were made to God.
