Associates and sisters, acknowledge a common call in baptism to live Gospel values. We expand this baptismal call in our mutual relationship with the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes as we:

• live the charism and mission of the congregation in our personal lives and in our work and ministry
• gather to deepen our spiritual life, support one another and respond to the needs of the Church and world as partners with the congregation
• are active in the pursuit of personal growth
• are conscious of our unique role and responsibility as public witnesses to the principles and values of the Gospel and the congregation 
• believe in the diginity and the giftedness of all people
• are women and men who are from a variety of Christian faith traditions and
• are financially and legally independent from the congregation.
