Cluny associates are members of the laity who are invited to live their call to holiness by journeying with the sisters and Anne- Marie in the footsteps of Christ. Their call is similar to that of Jesus ' call to his disciples: to share in his life, to spread his message.

Cluny associate partnership is for lay men and women who, in response to an invitation, share in the charism, spirituality, and mission of the Cluny sisters. The programme empowers the associates to take an active part in living their baptismal call to mission in the Church.

In the spirit and charism of Anne - Marie, the associates promise to promote Gospel values by an authentic Christian witness in their home, workplace, parish. The sisters and associates mutually support and sustain each other in this mission by their prayer life and by their unique commitment to work for the building of God's kingdom.

The sisters believe they have a special call to sharing their mission and spirituality with the laity. This was uniquely expressed at a recent meeting. A young adult awed by the gift of a vocation to religious life said: " Sisters, you have a precious gift of spirituality, but you must feel obliged to share that gift with the laity. We are providing this opportunity through our associate programme believing |God calls all of us to communion with Him."

In the footsteps of Anne -Marie, Cluny sisters continue her missionary call to bring the Jesus of the gospel to all God's people. They believe her light was not put out in the night. No! her light still shines and will continue to shine as the sisters, in partnership with their associates, enthusiastically carry the torch.

These are women and men, married or single who seriously wish to live their Catholic faith more fully, more deeply and who are attracted by the spirit of Anne-Marie Javouhey.
Associates are attached to Communities in Mount Sackville,Ferbane,Girvan,Glasgow and Stafford.
