A LIFE OF CONTEMPLATION
Our life of contemplation at the service of the Little Sisters, regulated and disciplined by prayer and manual activites has been modelled and nourished by the wisdom of our patron saints : Saint Theresa of the infant Jesus and Saint Benoit.
ABLE & HANDICAPPED
In our eyes and to echo the first words of Saint Jean Paul II, it is to risk saying « Be not afraid » to a world where each man fears another, afraid of the inherent fragility of his nature and his condition, such as handicap and illness.
IN WORK AND PRAYER
The offices, the adoration and the prayer of the rosary adapt themselves to the rhythm and capacities of our sisters.
