Do sisters still live in convents?
Some Sisters do still live in convents. Others now choose to live in smaller communities or with members of other congregations. As SSNDs we make every effort to live in community. The size of the community may vary from one to several sisters. Several types of living arrangements, such as living in a convent, an apartment, or a house, are possible. Much depends on where a sister ministers and where we have a community near that site. Interested women have the opportunity to visit communities for live-in experiences to help them understand our lifestyle. For those who dwell alone, there is the option of forming an extended faith community with other sisters.
