Facts of Consecrated Life Members of religious orders make solemn vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Some religious orders are apostolic (active in the world), some monastic and some cloistered. The cloistered communities do not live and minister actively in the outside world. Their life and work of prayer is primarily contained within their monastery setting.

ministry is dedicated to providing outreach, support,
and a caring presence during the difficult time of
separation and/or divorce. A monthly Holy Hour and
Tea Time is scheduled every fourth Thursday of the
