Do sisters receive a salary?
Most sisters receive a salary for their service from the organization for which they work. For example, a sister who teaches is paid by the school. As sisters, we share all things, so our salaries are placed into a common SSND fund. The funds in this central account are used to support all sisters, both active and retired. From this fund, money is also given to those in need, to support the ministries we sponsor, (such as our shelters for women) and to provide for our missionaries. Many of our retired sisters volunteer their time in parishes and schools and are not paid.
