Short post on what is new with us!
Meet Sr. Mary Anastasia of Our Lady of Solitude!
On Monday, September 15th, we celebrated the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows, a feast dear to the heart of our Community... And we also welcomed a new novice! Abigail Newman received her novice-habit and her beautiful new name: Sr. Mary Anastasia of Our Lady of Solitude. Congratulations to Sister and her family! A Fun Fact: her "title day" is Holy Saturday.
Sr. Mary Philomena’s First Profession
On Saturday, September 14th, Sr. Mary Philomena of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus professed her First Vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Sister's family was present at the ceremony and Mass, and her brother Chad, a second-year seminarian at St. Joseph's, did the readings. As is customary when a Sister makes her First Vows, the Novitiate Sisters threw Sr. Mary Philomena a festive party the night before. Please keep Sr. Mary Philomena in your prayers as she takes the first steps in her vowed religious life. [...]
