What steps does one take to become an associate?
Becoming an Associate of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes begins with an application and a discernment process.
Each candidate journeys with a mentor, a CSA Sister or an Associate, assigned to accompany them along the way.
The mentor and candidate meet regularly over the course of a year. They discuss and reflect on spirituality, charism and mission and the history of CSA and associate relationship.
At the close of the year, if the candidate chooses, they submit a letter of intent to make a commitment to associate relationship with CSA.
Candidates go on to make their First Commitment in a prayer service. They join other associates and sisters in a spiritual journey of support, mutuality and mission.

"I have a new awareness of my baptismal call and am eager to join with other CSA associates to carry out, with the charism, the spirit and mission of the Sisters of St. Agnes."
-Shannon Meagher, CSA Associate
"Going through the associate discernment process enabled me to become more aware of moments where I felt the Spirit guiding me to who I am today and calling me to respond. It is my intent to continue embodying CSA’s mission, charism and spirituality in my various roles: familial, spiritual, professional, social, and academic"
-Anthony Koffman, CSA Associate
