In January we were blessed to make a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament where we made our annual Communal retreat. They were beautiful days of silent prayer, long walks, rest and recollection. It is important for everyone to take a step back once in a while from life's daily hustle and bustle in order to find renewal in our Lord. Making a retreat is indeed the surest way to advance in the spiritual life.

August 22nd, Feast of our Lady's Queenship and Immaculate Heart, was a momentous day for our Community as our Foundress made her final (private) vows.

To watch a young woman receive the holy habit and a new Religious name is one of the most refreshing signs of life within a convent. We rejoice with our little Sister!
