Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious
The Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious has maintained the historical form of religious life, with sisters living in community and wearing the habit. While many religious orders are currently facing marked decline in novitiates and the aging of their members, the communities of the CMSWR are experiencing growth on a worldwide
scale.

Apostolic Visitation of Institutes of Women Religious in the United States

Catholic Sisters have contributed in manifold, generous ways to building up the Church in the United States since our  nation’s earliest days. With respect for these good works and genuine concern for the women religious who perform  them, the Vatican’s Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life has sought an Apostolic Visitation “in order to look into the quality of the life” of women religious in the United States.
