Every year we are allowed a monthly vacation where we may visit family. For anniversaries we may take a pilgrimage in honor of that milestone. Studies and ministry may also allow one to travel to different parts of the world. Occasionally an individual religious is invited to be a chaplain on a Marian or Holy Land pilgrimage. We each have our own bedroom in every house across the United States.
Some communities have a private sink and bathroom in the bedroom.
Each religious across the province has their own sink in their room, but has to use the rest room and showers down the hall in a private setting. We do not have a religious habit. Around the house it is casual dress. The community is quite respectful of the gifts and talents of the individual religious and their call to certain ministries. We can apply or be nominated by religious across the United States.
