We, the Sisters of Jesus Our Hope, are consecrated women in the Roman Catholic Church who live the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience within religious community. Our life is lived at the heart of the Church as a public, corporate witness to God’s merciful love which is the source of hope.

“All my hope is in Your mercy, Lord.” — St Augustine

Centered on Jesus Christ who is our hope and the hope of all those we serve in the midst of the fears and uncertainties of this world, our community life extends into the work of the New Evangelization through an apostolate of faith formation and catechesis. Because we were founded to witness to the hope that is available to everyone through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we embrace a community life lived in hope and a mission of proclaiming hope in Jesus Christ. We can offer people the most precious gift of all — FAITH in Jesus Christ, the source of a HOPE that does not disappoint. (cf Romans 5:5 )

The foundational charism of any religious community is the Holy Spirit acting in a particular way for and in and through that community. Our charism is hope. There is a constant interfacing of this with our spirituality, our vowed life in community and our apostolate. Our charism of hope is experienced in its effects: interiorly in our spirituality and in our vowed life in community; exteriorly in our apostolate.
