Vowed Membership Ask 12 different CSA sisters for a phrase to describe what it means to be part of our Community and you'll likely get a dozen different responses. We see our incredible diversity as a positive gift. We grow in our areas of interest, becoming better educated, acquiring skills and experience which will prepare us to hold leadership roles in our fields. This gives us even mare power to carry out God's will.

The woman keeps her job or place of residence while exploring the possibility of religious life. For a period of one to two years, she learns more about the CSA Community, the Church, and evangelization.
