How long does it take to
become a Sister of the Holy Cross? |
Generally it takes eight years to make one’s final vows.
|
| What is the age limit for
entrance into the Congregation? |
The target ages are 20 to 35, but we consider each woman who
expresses a desire to become a religious. After 35 it may be
difficult to adapt to a whole new lifestyle change.
For those who do not feel they are called to live life as a
vowed religious, our Associates Program is an option. This program
is designed for persons who identify with our mission and
spirituality, and who wish to commit themselves to deepening their
own spirituality by offering service and journeying with us. For
more information, contact Sister
Mary Margaret Weber or Sister Mary
Ellen Johnson.

| Must I have a
college degree before I enter? |
The requirement is two years of college or work experience.
|
| Does the Congregation accept
widows or divorced persons? |
A woman must receive an annulment from her marriage in order to
take public vows. Widows or those with annulments are eligible for
entrance.
|
| If I enter the Congregation
may I stay in the geographical area around my family? |
Holy Cross is an international Congregation and its members
must be willing to go wherever they are needed.
