Faith in the City, Jesus in the Streets: The Sisters Poor of Jesus Christ - A Vocation Story

We share how the Sisters Poor of Jesus Christ lives a bold charism: serve Jesus in the poor, walk with families, and build a faith-based sobriety program called "Be Sober" to help individuals and their loved ones who are struggling with addiction (drugs, alcohol, sex addiction).

Prayer, street outreach, and Marian trust shape a path from survival to hope, faith, sobriety and freedom in Jesus Christ.

• "Jesus all, all of Jesus" as the Sisters Poor of Jesus Christ's charism 
• Global congregation with a house in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 
• Scripture roots in Luke 4 and Matthew 25 
• "Be Sober" structure: prayer, formation, sharing 
• Parallel groups for sobriety and family members 
• A Catholic lens on the 12 steps of addiction recovery, and mercy 
• Street ministry with the homeless 
• Street ministry as a bridge to God-given human dignity and trust 
• Vocation story of a young Sister, Sister Maria Elisa who joined at 18 years of age. She speaks of the joy of community life 
• Turning to Mother Mary in suffering and recovery 
• Rethinking judgment, human dignity, and hope
