Throughout the year we have various retreats and "live-in" experiences for young women who desire to learn more about Pauline religious life. These “live-in” experiences are held at our Novitiate House in Boston and in our communities throughout the country.

 What these “live-in” experiences include: 

► A chance to meet the sisters, postulants and novices

► Meeting other young women like yourself who are discerning a religious vocation

► Daily Eucharistic Liturgy

► Conferences on religious life and Pauline charism

► Sharing in our Pauline spirituality: Eucharistic adoration, meditation on the Word of God, community and personal prayer

► The opportunity to speak with a sister personally about your desire for
religious life

► An experience of the mission of the Daughters of St. Paul

►  Most include a silent day of retreat

 What you can expect to receive from an experience spent in a Pauline community:

► A deeper understanding of Pauline life and Eucharistic prayer

► A taste of our spirituality and the urgency we feel to proclaim the centrality of Jesus Christ in our world

► An experience of living in community and collaborating with others

► An opportunity to learn more about Pauline religious life through classes and conversations with the sisters

► Personal accompaniment by a sister who is prepared to help you in your discernment of your life’s call
