There are two streams of membership in the Medical Mission Sisters: Canonical Membership and Associate Membership. Associates are women and men who are drawn to the vision, values and healing charism of the Medical Mission Sisters and make a commitment to live these within the context of their own lives and responsibilities. More about Medical Mission Sisters’ Canonical members can be found on the Membership–Canonical page.
Association invites individuals to deepen their spiritual lives through reflection, prayer, worship and actions that promote healing. Becoming a Medical Mission Sister Associate includes several steps:
Familiarization with the Community, its values and history
Connecting with an Associate or a Medical Mission Sister in “learning more” about the mission and how it is expressed in the world
A Written Application and a brief outline of one’s life and faith journey
An Orientation Period with a Sister and an Associate for deeper understanding of what healing presence means and how it is lived by Medical Mission Sisters
A Written Request to make a First Commitment
A Commitment to live the Medical Mission Sisters’ values in one’s personal life, community and career
