The founders, Saint Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal founded the order
“to give to God daughters of prayer, and souls so interior that they may be found worthy to serve His infinite Majesty and to adore Him in spirit and in truth.” (St. Francis de Sales).
Visitation Sisters are cloistered, contemplative religious who are dedicated to a life of prayer and of living in community.
The Liturgy of the Hours is sung five times each day and two hours of mental prayer and spiritual reading are also prescribed.
The sisters gather for recreation daily.
The each sister is assigned various duties inside and outside the monastery, as in other orders. From cooking, cleaning, gardening, etc.
