Vowed life members are women who make a permanent commitment to live the lifestyle of a religious sister. The sisters make vows of celibate chastity, poverty, and obedience. This process allows women considering religious life the time they need to make the decision that is right for them. Associates are women and men who make a commitment to incorporate the mission and charism of CSA into their daily lives, and who come together with the community for prayer, professional activities, and recreation. Associates may be single or married, and need not be Catholic.
Volunteers are women and men who commit themselves to serve others for a certain period of time.
Like associates, volunteers need not be Catholic.
