Here are some reasons to celebrate our RNDM Canada website and our digital presence in the online world:

• Our website is continuing to grow and reach a larger audience each year (e.g. from 3297 visits in 2021 to 129,794 in 2026).

• On average, someone now visits our website about once every 15 seconds, or 4 times every minute.

• Peoples from around 140 countries visited the website this year. It was viewed on every continent except Antarctica!

• Our website ranks on the first page of Google for a number of search terms and phrases including RNDM sisters, Catholic missionary work in Manitoba, or eco-spirituality Catholic sisters, etc.

• The top 5 questions people ask about us on Google are: What is the RNDM religious order? What does RNDM stand for? What is the charism of the RNDM sisters? Who are the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions? What do the RNDM Sisters do?

• As of May 2026, we have published a total of 477 blog posts. In addition to this, our website has a total of 167 pages. So, between the blog and the rest of the site, there are currently 644 unique pages on the website.

• It is significant that our three newest pages – Vocation Events, Formation, and Discernment – are now in the topmost accessed pages. So having the Join Us page updated and the addition of the Vocation Group has had a definite impact on our viewership.

• Google is showing our pages roughly 28,000 times every month. Our articles are appearing for many different searches, and the site likely has growing authority around spirituality, Catholic life, mission, ecology, reflection, and religious life.

• The recipes page continues to be accessed regularly and also continues to be shared on Pinterest. The most popular recipe for the third year in a row is the Skor Cake by Sisters Anna Aulie & Jo Gelowitz!

• The video of the Sisters dancing (Assembly 2024) gets several views a month and the audio interview titled “Wooden Spoons” from 2011 continues to be listened to and downloaded every single month. People are still listening to it 15 years later!

• RNDM Canada’s digital advantage is: It sits at a rare intersection of ecological theology, mission storytelling, and reflective spirituality — a combination that is increasingly searched for, but not widely produced in coherent, high-quality form by other congregational websites. That’s why you’re seeing: strong audience growth; stable engagement patterns; and increasing reach without needing heavy media strategy (This is AI/Perplexity’s impression of our website.)

This is a taste of Rebecca’s 14-page report! There is reason to celebrate! Thanks to all who contribute to the life of the website: writers and readers, chefs and eaters, photographers, dancers, artists, protestors, recruiters: partners-in-mission all! Happy 15th anniversary www.rndmcanada.org!
