Monastic, Apostolic or Cloistered?

Most women have no idea what kind of Catholic Sisters community they are being called to ... only that they feel a nudge to find out more.

That's why we created the Midwest Vocation Match. It allows you to answer around 20 questions to find out where you might fit in.

Your responses will help you know whether you are most suited for Monastic or Apostolic or Cloistered religious life.

You'll know if you're drawn to monastic life, where Sisters pray and live together in a monastery - and work in ministries outside the monastery - but with a primary focus of communal prayer and community.

You'll know if you're drawn to apostolic life, where Sisters often live alone or in groups of 2-3 outside the motherhouse with a primary focus of their ministry.

And you'll learn if you're drawn to cloistered life, where Sisters live and pray in enclosure, away from the world.
