"Come... Be Generous ... Give splendidly to those in need." —Saint Basil the Great
Becoming a Sister of the Order of Saint Basil the Great
Jesus, Lover of Humanity Province
While there are many ways to answer God’s call, one of the challenging and noble ways to do so is to choose a life consecrated to God in service to humanity. It is a journey of commitment and re-commitment to God’s eternal love expressed through the deeds of those who have dedicated themselves to making the world a better place through prayer, through healing, and by being a life-giving presence in the lives of others.
