Discernment and the Sisters of The Holy Cross

Sister Mary Veronique Wiedower, the chief operating officer and United States postulant director for the Sisters of the Holy Cross, explained her view of vocational discernment with the Sisters of the Holy Cross in an interview with the Rover.

Prior to assuming her current role, Sr. Wiedower served as the Sisters’ worldwide president for ten years. She was also involved in many different facets of the formation of women religious. She entered the community in 1965 and professed her perpetual vows in 1973.

The charism of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, Sr. Wiedower told the Rover, is to “read the signs of the times, discern needs, and respond as they can.” The Sisters do this in a variety of ways, serving as teachers, nurses, lawyers, and advocates.
