SOCIETY OF THE SACRED ADVENT  SSA

 

   The Society of the Sacred Advent exists for the glory of God and for the service of His Church in preparation for the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    Members devote themselves to God in community under vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.  Our life is a round of worship, prayer, silence and work.  Our Patron Saint is John the Baptist who, by his life and death, pointed the way to Jesus.  We would hope also to point the way to Jesus in our own time, to a world which has largely lost touch with spiritual realities and is caught up in despair, loneliness and fear.  

   As part of our ministry, Sisters may be called to give addresses, conduct Retreats or Quiet Days, or to make themselves available for spiritual direction, hospital chaplaincy and parish work.  The aim of the Community is to grow in the mind of Christ so as to manifest Him to others.  The Society has two Schools, St Margaret's and St Aidan's and two Sisters are on each of the School Councils.
