VOWS SERIES: Introduction

The world sees religious habits, social media accounts, and cozy book centers… but religious life is about a lot more than aesthetics. It’s centered around a Person, and our transformation in Him.

Have you ever wondered what religious vows actually commit to? Or how they impact our prayer and define our everyday life?

Join us for this special series as we unpack the religious vows of a Daughter of St. Paul through the personal testimonies of our Sisters! We hope you’ll see some new faces, learn some new things, and discover new depths of joy in consecrated life along the way.

Saint Paul the Apostle, pray for us.

Who We Are

The Daughters of St. Paul is a congregation of Catholic women living our vocation to consecrated religious life in service to God’s people by preaching the Gospel through all forms of media. Our profoundly Eucharistic spirituality roots us in Jesus so that no matter what we do—writing, graphic design, radio, video, social media, music, art—we may be a communication of Christ’s love to every person we encounter.

Discern Your Vocation

We regularly host opportunities for vocational discernment, providing a space for young women to learn about religious life and pray about where God is calling them. Get in touch with us to learn about events near you or to speak with a sister.

Be Part of the Pauline Mission

Pauline Cooperators are lay men and women who anchor their lives in the Pauline spirituality and who participate in the Pauline mission, which is the very mission of Christ, the proclamation of the Kingdom of God.
