FORMATION OF SISTERS

  
   

A peculiarity of our Congregation is – and always has been –
that we combine our apostolic service with the exercise of a profession, thus using the abilities of our members to respond
to the needs of our time.

Like our Foundress Mary of the Apostles,
we seek and strive to give signs of hope and life
in an increasingly secularized world.


At present there are about 1000 professed members in the Congregation. They live and work in 27 countries worldwide.

Young women who are accepted as candidates into the community can look forward to a sound and holistic education. The one-year postulate is followed by a two-year novitiate. This alternates between life in community with an introduction to the Congregation and practical experience in nursing, pastoral and social work, etc.

The young members should experience the reality in which people live today as directly as possible.

We want the personality of each young woman to mature - spiritually and humanly. She should be qualified for her later task and work in the social and cultural contexts of the respective country. Only in this way can she respond to the signs of the times and the needs of the people

 






For a lifetime

Skills and practical experience acquired before entering the Congregation should of course also be fostered. This can range from craft and artistic professions to pastoral care and science.

Whoever wants to become a Salvatorian sister decides to serve people - for a lifetime.

Salvatorian women are never "finished". It is always necessary to adjust to the changes in life and to learn anew - for a lifetime

Only in this way can they work as apostles, as proclaimers of the Good News, and quite concretely as teachers, doctors, social workers, as women for hope and life - as Salvatorians - in service and for the good of people worldwide.
