Sisters for Christian Community are contemporary women bonded together to manifest their commitment to Christ in a new form of consecrated life as a prophetic, collegial, ecclesial community. The community was formed in 1970 in response to Vatican II and is an international community with a committed membership in all continents of the world. The community reflects the journey of women called to be co-foundresses, co-equals, and co-responsible for all aspects of this new form of religious life which is non-canonical and ecumenical, with a self-supporting membership.

The mission and goals of the Sisters for Christian Community are clearly stated in the SFCC Profile. The apostolic goal of SFCC is to promote and witness Christian Community, and, the sisters strive, through all means available, to forward the realization of Christ's prayer, " . . . that all may be ONE . . ." To achieve this goal they seek to bring together into community, Christ-committed women giving witness to collegial community and pilgrim spirituality as a body of women born of Vatican II.

Since its inception in 1970, SFCC has been a process community, ever in the process of developing and refining its international communications network under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Because SFCC believes that COMMUNITY IS COMMUNICATION, SFCC formed seven regions in 1972. Each community member determines for herself the region with which she wishes to identify, regardless of geographic boundaries. Regional and local meetings are encouraged for mutual exchange, bonding, and personal enrichment.

In 1979 community growth expanded the number of regions to 19, each with a Regional Communications Coordinator. These regions represent intentional community through SFCC membership.

Today there are 32 regions in 14 countries.
