Following the words of Jesus and the example of Saint Anthony the Great,
we, the Antonine Sisters, leave everything behind to follow God, our sole treasure.
The life that we received from God we give back to Him through service and devotion.
Like Mary, the first consecrated woman, we live joyfully to proclaim the greatness of the Lord
who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

The Antonine Sisters celebrate the feast by meeting together for prayer and reflection and renewing their vows during Divine Liturgy. Prayers will be offered for all those who have answered God's call to religious life, as well as for all individuals who are contemplating such vocation.
