Our Daily Mission

  • “Witnessing to the enduring presence of the preferential love of Christ for the young, the poor, the weak and the needy.”

    – Our Charism
  • The Sister of Our Lady of Sorrows consecrates herself totally to Jesus Crucified and finds interior strength in faith and in love, which come from Christ and lead her back to Him. She is renewed each day through intimate contact with the Eucharistic Jesus and the Word of truth.
  • We are an ecclesial and apostolic community placed within the larger community of the people of God, called to participate in the mission of God entrusted through charismatic gifts to our Foundress, in the Church and for the Church.
  • The Eucharist, sacrament of love, sign of unity and bond of charity, constitutes the center of our community life.
  • As religious, we are contemplatives in action. Our entire religious life, then, is filled with an apostolic spirit, and all our apostolic activity is animated by a religious spirit.
  • Mary, the Mother of Jesus, united to her Divine Son and to His work by an intimate and everlasting bond, is the model of our vocation and mission.

Welcome

A warm welcome to all of you! Through our website, we wish to share with you our life, our ministry, our specific place in the Church, and our gratitude to God for having called us to follow him in a radical way – as Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows.

I hope that as you visit our website, you may get to know us and the work we do for God’s glory, not only in the United States, but also in our missions around the world.

Our Foundress, Blessed Elisabetta Renzi, insisted that we should do everything for the glory of God, no matter the task. I pray that you will be encouraged to live your life in God’s presence and to give God the glory in everything you do. Our world needs the witness of committed Christians.

Be assured of my prayers, and may the crucified and risen Lord guide you and protect you on your life’s journey.

God’s love and blessings be upon you!

Sr. Lina Rossi, OLS
