At the Congregational Forum 2001 the following statement was formulated as an expression of our present identity in our ever-changing world:
We are a small, diverse and prophetic group of women inspired by the person of Jesus and the vision of Brigid of Kildare and Daniel Delany. There is mystery at the heart of what holds us together, expressed in shared symbols, stories and experiences. We engage with the issues of our time, stand in solidarity with the oppressed and seek to build a more inclusive community.
We move forward into the future, conscious of many ambiguities, living as women religious at this moment in history. In the midst of diminishment, as we move toward our bi-centenary, we will continue to seek new ways of affirming the aspects that bind us as community and to search for new ways of being generative. In this context, we go forward with openness to risk and a fidelity to our shared story.
In the progress from 2001 to 2007 we gather our lives and our efforts to be and bring 'the good news' under the theme of
Celebrating the Sacred: Compassion and Justice for Humanity and the Earth
