Ministries
The sisters' primary ministry is to one another in community life as they pray, study, work, and share meals and leisure, supporting and challenging one another to further growth.
At present the sisters minister to the needs of God's people through
directing the Office of Religious Education for the Archeparchy of
Pittsburgh and coordinating its safe environment practices. They also teach
Eastern Christian Formation classes for Sts. Peter and Paul Byzantine
Catholic Church (Eastern Rite) in Warren, Ohio. The sisters offer pastoral help,
visit the sick, perform parish secretarial work, and do monastery
administrative work. They give special attention to promoting knowledge and appreciation of the
spiritual riches of the Eastern Church, regularly offering enriching spirituality
days.
Morning, noon, and evening, the sisters gather
in community to pray for the needs of all God's people, particularly those
who have requested prayer. The sisters extend their hospitality to those in need of Christ's healing presence by
offering an environment of peace, beauty, and prayer.
