About Us

Charism

Picture
        Our Congregation lives the charism of the Evangelical Spiritual Childhood. This spirituality is centered on Jesus Himself as He said: "I am the Way" (Jn. 14:6), and "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Mt 18:3).
     This spirit consists of living out the privilege to be children of God as Jesus expressed His filial love to God the Father and to His Mother. Pope Pius XI said, "The spirit of Evangelical Spiritual Childhood consists of feeling and acting in the domain of virtues just like a child's feeling and acting in the natural domain."

St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus


We find examples to live our charism in the Evangelical Spiritual Childhood of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, and also in the True Devotion to Mary according to St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort.

Our Habit

        The religious habit of the Sisters of Mary Queen of Mercy is a sign of holy consecration, and is a witness to the virtue of poverty in a public way and to the common life.
        The Sisters have two types of habits: the formal religious habit and the informal religious habit. The formal religious habit consists of a modest dark navy blue dress with a dark navy blue veil, the symbol of the Congregation pinned on the left, and for the perpetually professed Sister, a simple ring worn on her left ring finger, as a sign of her perpetual spousal relationship with God. The novice would have a white veil. The informal religious habit consists of black pants, a short modest dress in light blue, and a dark navy blue veil for the Professed Sister, or a white veil for the novice.
        The Sisters wear the informal religious habit within the boundaries of the Mother house at all times except for the times of performing or receiving the Holy Sacraments, the Holy Mass, Benediction, and praying the Liturgical Hours.
