The Visitation Sisters of Minneapolis are launching the Visitation Internship Program to provide an opportunity for young adults to live in community in north Minneapolis with other young adults and ministers in the neighborhood for one year.
North Minneapolis is an economically challenged area of the Twin Cities, and the Visitation Sisters are working to create a prayerful presence in the neighborhood.
Women and men between the ages of 20 and 35 are eligible to apply to the program, according to a press release from Visitation Monastery.
The interns will live in an intentional VIP community and commit to community nights once a week with their house and also with the sisters on a regular basis.
The interns will serve in a ministry within the north Minneapolis community. They will learn Salesian spirituality through the Visitation Sisters, Visitation Companions, north side neighbors, and through study and retreat opportunities.
They also will be offered spiritual direction, vocational discernment and prayer opportunities through the Visitation Sisters.
Applications are currently being accepted for the inaugural year beginning in August.
