The Sisters of Saint Gregory
		Associates and Sisters visiting

The Associates of The Sisters of Saint Gregory are those women and men who, though called to other paths and vocations, never less find themselves drawn by God to the vision, work, and expression of spirituality that they see in this community.

They desire a structure, or "rule," for their daily walk with God and wish to participate in the life of our community to the degree that the circumstances of their life permit.

Our Associates will be fully woven into the tapestry of our community, sharing our prayer life, our interdependence, our growing pains, and our joy, as we become the people God is calling us to be, individually, in community, and in the world.

Each Associate is encouraged to incorporate the following in a personal rule of life:

Almighty and most merciful God, we have taken up the name of your faithful and holy servant Saint Gregory the Great, whose life exemplified his motto, Servant of the servants of God: Grant us the guidance  of your Holy Spirit in our lives and works, that we may possess our patron's zeal and devotion to your holy Church; that through our efforts your people may come to live in that spirit of devotion: Soli Deo Gloria - to God alone the glory; and this we ask in the name of Jesus Christ your son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the same Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Holy God, we thank you for drawing us to yourself and especially for leading us into communion with The Sisters of Saint Gregory. For the sake of your most holy Name, continue to bless us and all the Sisters with the fullness of your grace and the guidance of your Holy Spirit, that we may walk in your holy way along the paths of your Kingdom here in the midst of our world. Nurture our faithfulness, devotion, and service, that we may be vessels of your love and compassion for all those whom you bring into our works and days, until we enter the eternal splendor of your presence. We ask these things, according to your will, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
