Share in Our Mission
Mission… it’s a way of life!
I am a mission on this earth; that is the reason why I am here in this world. ~ Pope Francis (Evangelii Gaudium)
Pope Franics reminded us that we are ALL called to mission. Relationships are at the heart of OLA life and mission. You don’t need to be a Sister to live your mission calling.
We walk this path together in a spirit of synodality, grounded in shared listening, mutual discernment, and a commitment to the journey.
Explore the different ways to walk with us below.
Vocations
Religious life begins with a question.
The call to religious life is not always loud, but it is persistent. If you’re wondering whether God may be inviting you to this path, we’re here to listen.
To be an OLA Sister is to live in community, respond to the needs of the world, and let your life speak of hope.
This path isn’t for everyone—but if it is for you, it is worth exploring. Reach out!
Volunteering
Encounters that stay with you.
Over the years, volunteers have supported our mission in many ways:
- Teaching and nursing in West Africa
- Medical placements in Ghana
- Offering specialist skills like physiotherapy, radiology or lab work
- Supporting pastoral or educational initiatives
What’s needed most is openness, respect, and a willingness to serve. Enquire here.
Lay Mission Movement
Living mission in very day life.
Many feel called to live with intention and faith outside of religious life.
The Lay Mission Movement supports those who wish to grow through reflection, formation, community, and a shared commitment to justice.
Lay people and collaborators walk with us in mission and mutual support. Together, we live the spirit of the Cenacle through faith, community, and service.
