The Worker Sisters of the Holy Spirit (WSHS) is an international covenant community in the Episcopal Church[1] which offers women, regardless of marital status, a path for spiritual growth.[2] It is a registered charity.[3] HistoryThe community was founded in December 1972 in the Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri[4] by Sr. Angela,[5][6] a nun in a traditional Anglican religious order who left to found an organization that would offer a rule of life for lay women who lived separately and worked in the secular world.[6] The name Worker Sisters of the Holy Spirit was chosen due to the community drawing inspiration from the worker priests of France.[7] CharismThe charism of the Worker Sisters is to nurture the "Fruit of the Holy Spirit". To support this charism, they follow a Benedictine rule of life which includes scripture study, prayer, reflection, dedication to simplicity, and participation in mission and ministry.[8] The fruit of the Holy Spirit is identified as love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control. MembershipMembership is made up of three orders which are bound together under a life commitment to a common rule. There are also companions and friends of the Worker Sisters. Young adults ages 13–25 may belong to any category of membership.[9][10]
