Daily Schedule

The rhythm of our day arises from our healthy balance of prayer, study, work, silence and relationship. This climate promotes growth and maturity that is fully human, Christian and Franciscan. It leads to a gradual transformation of our lives into the image and likeness of God.

JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT IS THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY AND OF OUR LIVES.
Our daily prayer, personal devotion, work, spiritual reading, meditation, recreation and study revolve around the celebration of the Eucharist, Liturgy of the Hours, and Eucharistic Adoration.

Wednesdays are what we called unstructured and are different. Mass and Prayers are still together but meals are on your own. Saturdays are our cleaning days. Spiritual reading and Lectio Divina is managed by each Sister individually based on their work/class/adoration.

Each Sister is privileged to have 1 hour of adoration a day, 1 hour of night adoration twice a week, and adoration during a meal time each week.
