An Invitation, Not a Command
November 30, 2009
Sr. Katie Eiffe, CSJ
I am a Sister of St. Joseph…because I taught with them, and was attracted by their joy. I had struggled with the notion of vocation for a number of years…but when I experienced their dedication to ministry, their love of the people of God, and the joy with which they served, I experienced vocation as an invitation rather than a command.
My life has been enriched by so many of the Sisters who first befriended me, and then welcomed me into community…and who have shared their lives with me for over thirty years now.
I am who I am today, literally and figuratively, because of the influence of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet of the Albany Province.
