Spindle
A symbol of the transforming power of Jesus Christ in our lives. It represents conversion and is at the same time an instrument of change.
Statement
We believe there is a unrealized potential for growth within every human being. Growth is a process into deeper awareness of self and one's relationship with God, others and all creation.

Our SPIRITUALITY CENTRE provides a place and opportunity for reflection on the Word of God and our life experience. Retreats, prayer, meditation, spiritual direction and topical presentations invite us into this process of growth.
Vision
Vision statement of the 2005 General Chapter of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Martha of P.E.I.
Grounded in the
spirituality of St. Martha
and Reverencing God in all creation,
we, the Sisters of St. Martha
of Prince Edward Island,
dare to risk being prophetic.

Rekindled in our charism,
we strive to embrace
diversity among
us as we extend hospitality
toward all creation.
