A Day in the Life
of an AVI Sister
Morning
6:00-7:30 The sisters have time to get ready and have breakfast. If they like to wake up early they can fit in some of their prayer time like meditation or the rosary. They can fit in a morning walk or workout routine.
7:30-8:00 Office of Readings and Morning Prayer in the chapel at home.
8:30-9:30 Once arrived at the University Catholic Center where the Sisters serve, they pray adoration with the students.
9:30-12:00 A mix of spiritual direction appointments, preparing talks or events, or having meetings. The Sisters give talks at things like retreats, RCIA, parish missions. They lead events to help young people discern their vocation and learn how to do evangelization.
Afternoon
12:30-1:30 Mid-day Prayer and Lunch together. The sisters each have a chore during the day to either cook a meal, do dishes, sweep or clean the house.
1:30-2:30 Time for personal prayer, like rosary, meditation, or spiritual reading. She can take time to rest if needed.

6:30-7:45 Free time unless the sister has to cook or needs to fit in prayer time!
