As a Sister of St John of God, I am very conscious of the support and love of every Sister in the Congregation. I believe in the hope and dreams articulated in our Constitutions, which state:

"Like a 'fountain of living water' (Jer 2:13) from which the members draw strength, vitality and fresh inspiration, that spirit is the source in which they find their identity and meaning as Sisters of St John of God"

My role as Vocations Minister is a very privileged one, in which I:

• companion young women who are discerning where God is calling them in life. We do this together by reflecting on Scripture weekly and drawing on the inspirations shared.
• plan retreats which enables young women to have quiet reflective time to experience God's gifts within themselves and their companions.
• I share our founding story and charism with young women, students in primary and secondary school, mothers, and parishes bringing about a greater awareness of the richness of our heritage.
• network and collaborate with our Sisters, Archdiocesan Vocations committee, National Vocations committee keeping abreast of new
  ideas and opportunities in Vocations Ministry.
• assist young women who are discerning to give some time as volunteers in our St. John Of God Ministries in Tzaneen in South Africa or Pakistan.
