Discerning a Vocation

                                                               

   
The Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary were founded in Ireland in 1775 by Mother Nano Nagle. They came to Watervliet, New York in 1881 to establish a home for orphan children.

Today the sisters continue to minister to the needs of children in residential programs for the emotionally handicapped, the autistic, and the mentally retarded child, as well as day-care programs for the preschooler, teaching in diocesan schools, and parish ministry. A habit, daily Mass and prayer schedule, as well as convent living, are important factors in the life of a Presentation Sister.

Entrance requirements include: at least a high school diploma; a sincere desire, persistently recurring, to dedicate oneself to God in religion; the possession of average health, intelligence, and piety; the intention of generously giving to God what is already His. Age will be considered on an individual basis.
