I’m both thrilled and nervous to be writing this, but I will do my best to articulate a bit of my life thus far and how Our Good God has led me to pursue a vocation. I was born on March 25, 2001, in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I was born in Pearland, a city outside […]

I was having a conversation with my brother and he made a comment about how he thought that I would be happy as a Sister. That comment planted a seed in my heart, so I started to discern religious life. By this time, I had recently graduated from university and was given a promotion at […]

From the time my 9th-grade classmates used their newfound knowledge of world history to strike at the basis of my Catholic faith, I found myself wanting for a deeper understanding of God’s role in our world. From then on over the years of personally challenging the faith, I have found only more reason to believe […]

I was not raised Catholic and my parents were both of non-practicing Protestant backgrounds. When I was a very small child I would attend a Seventh Day Adventist Church with my Grandma. By the time I was six, Grandma became too frail to bring me to Church so I stopped going with her, but I […]

The earliest memory I have of the first inklings of a call to religious life was in high school or college when a few people here and there mentioned or wondered about religious life for me. A priest in Confession even mentioned it one time. These encounters poked something in my heart and piqued my curiosity at the idea, […]
Sister Therese Michael
My journey of discerning becoming a religious sister began in 2019, the summer after I graduated high school. It was at a Steubenville East conference in Lowell, MA. Sister Miriam James asked the women in the room to quiet their hearts and to ask Jesus if He was calling us to be a religious sister. […]

I genuinely believe that even now, at the age of 22, my life is a testament that our Lord Jesus is always and has always been perusing us in love from the very first moment we were born. While I was unaware of His Presence for most of my life, I am so grateful for […]
