Meet Ines Soto, an aspirant discerning a vocation to the Mercedarian Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament!

Born in Durango, Mexico, Ines moved to the United States in 1998. She was involved in her parish as a child, and continued this as an adult, working with children and youth at her parish. It was here that Ines received the call to religious life! Ines saw an ad about vocations, and began to look at it in light of her own life, asking herself serious questions. She sensed that God was calling her to something greater.

While searching and visiting communities, Ines was surprised to learn how many orders there were, as well as the wide array of charisms that characterized the different orders. She was deeply attracted to the Mercedarian Sisters, but nevertheless kept looking at other communities.

But there was no way to learn about them all! The Eucharistic and Marian charism of the Mercedarian Sisters continued to tug at her heart, and she soon contacted them. After speaking with the sisters, Ines took the plunge and
