The Capuchin Sisters of Nazareth have a rich, strong communal life. It unites them as a true family where their joy, as Brides of Christ, witnesses to the world the good news of the Gospel.

Called, chosen, and consecrated by the Father, as authentic sisters in the Lord, they strive to live out daily the words "This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35). The joy of their hidden communal life reflects the joy of that hidden family at Nazareth, where Jesus, Mary, and Joseph lived in ecstatic communion with one another and with the Father and Holy Spirit.
"I have told you this that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete...
love one another as I have loved you." - John 15:11-12
