The putting all in common of our financial resources is being implemented through the work of the International Finance Committee and their work with the Provincial/Regional treasurers.  Putting in common touches the fundamentals of our religious life. As we engage with the budgeting system we find ourselves reflecting anew on the vows we profess before our God.  This call has also been strongly affirmed through the document issued by the Vatican under the authority of Pope Francis: Guidelines for the Administration of Assets in Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. Extract of the letter of Sr Patricia, 30 November 2014

In many ways All in Common and the vow of poverty are a challenge to consumerism and a call to sharing, generosity, and solidarity. We ask that they also be a gift of oneself, without reserve, to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
