Vero Beach Area’s Mass and Reflection on the Virtue of Hope

01/22/2026 

On Friday, January 16th, members of the Florida – Vero Beach Area gathered for Mass and a beautiful reflection on the virtue of Hope, offered by Sr. Therese Marie, S.V. A member of the Sisters of Life—an order founded in 1991 by the late Cardinal John O’Connor—Sr. Therese shared a profound and uplifting message rooted in the charism of her community. The Sisters of Life profess four vows: poverty, chastity, obedience, and a unique fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. Her words invited us to rediscover Hope as a steady light in times of uncertainty and a virtue that draws us closer to God’s unwavering love.
