Discover the Joy of Saying “Yes” to God’s Call
During National Vocation Awareness Week, we celebrate the many ways God calls each of us to love and serve. For the Felician Sisters of North America, that call is a daily invitation to trust, to serve with joy and to say “yes” to God’s will — just as our foundress, Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska, did.
Throughout this week, we invite you to be inspired by our sisters as they share their personal stories in our “Why I Said Yes” series. Through blogs and videos, you’ll hear how each sister discovered her vocation, found courage in faith and continues to live her “yes” each day. Click on each photo to read their stories or watch their videos.
We invite you to share our information with others who may feel the call or are curious about religious life.
