The Sisters of Life is Religious Order of Roman Catholic women, founded by Cardinal John O’Connor in 1991 in New York to proclaim the goodness and beauty of every human life. They profess vows of poverty, chastity and obedience as well as a fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of every human life. Their lives as women consecrated to Christ, the Lord of Life, enables them to live their charism; sharing the gift of God’s abundant mercy to all they meet and seeking to help reveal to each person their own innate goodness, the particular love God has for them, and invite them to a life of truth, joy, and hope.
