Today, the Sisters Adorers are an international community of consecrated women who, together with the Adorer Family, live the charism and mission of Adoration and Liberation in very diverse contexts around the world.
Answering the question “who are the Sisters Adorers?” means speaking about a concrete vocation within the Church: to consecrate one’s life to God and place it at the service of other women, especially those living in situations of vulnerability, exclusion, or violence. This vocation is born from the intuition and experience of Saint Maria Micaela, our foundress, whose life continues to inspire the mission of the Congregation today.
A consecrated life embodied in everyday life
The Sisters Adorers live in a community. We share prayer, work, discernment, and mission. Adoration is not for us an isolated moment in the chapel, but a way of looking at and being present in reality.
In our encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist, we discover His presence in history and in the everyday of our lives and, with Him, we commit ourselves to the transformation of the world.
That gaze leads us to Liberation, understood as the respectful accompaniment of the processes of the women we accompany in our Social Work. We do not work through imposition or quick solutions, but by walking alongside them, respecting their timing, and sustaining long journeys that seek to affirm their dignity, strengthen their autonomy, and open new paths.
A mission shared with the Adorer Family
The Sisters Adorers do not walk alone. Today, the mission is also lived together with the Adorer Family, made up of lay women and men who share the charism from their own vocation.
Together, we participate in social projects, welcoming spaces, accompaniment, and formation in different countries and realities. Our presence unfolds in contexts marked by prostitution, human trafficking, violence, and other forms of exclusion that particularly affect women.
Wherever dignity is wounded, we seek to be present with closeness, respect, and hope.
An international Congregation
Currently, the Sisters Adorers are present in 23 countries across Europe, America, Africa, and Asia. This international dimension enriches our mission and allows us to respond to very different realities while maintaining the unity of the charism.
Cultural diversity does not dilute the Adoratriz charism; on the contrary, it makes it more alive. In each place, it takes concrete form according to the needs and challenges of each context.
What defines the Sisters Adorers today
To be a Sister Adorer today means to live an incarnate spirituality, attentive to the signs of the times and committed to the dignity of women. It means sustaining community life, cultivating prayer, and committing to actions and processes that are not always visible but profoundly transformative.
We are not only a social organization nor only a contemplative community. We are a religious Congregation that unites Adoration and Liberation as two inseparable dimensions of the same vocation.
A presence that continues
More than a century after its foundation, the Congregation of the Sisters Adorers continues its journey in creative fidelity. Reality changes and contexts evolve, but the charism remains alive.
Who are the Sisters Adorers today?
Consecrated women who, together with others, live the Adoratriz charism and mission by accompanying women in situations of vulnerability and affirming each day that dignity is never lost.
We continue walking, convinced that this vocation remains necessary and relevant.
