Episode #11 - A Vocation Within a Vocation: Lay Associates

MEET THE NEW LAY ASSOCIATES OF THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR who have just made their promises for the first time, and listen as they relate what drew them to the charism of this religious family--as well as the joy that they experience as they now set out upon this special “vocation within their vocation.” The Little Sisters of the Poor treasure their Jeanne Jugan Associates, men and women at least 18 years of age who embrace both the spirituality and the mission of their foundress, St. Jeanne Jugan and of their religious family. While the role of the laity has received greater emphasis since Vatican II, many vowed religious families have long had formally organized lay associations; please enjoy this glimpse into ours! For further information about the Jeanne Jugan Associates or the Little Sisters of the Poor, please contact [email protected]. And for the sake of vocation awareness, kindly consider liking, widely sharing, and subscribing/following; we’ll be so grateful!
