What a beautiful and grace-filled year it has been for the Daughters of the Virgin Mother! We celebrated our two-year anniversary on May 13th, 2017, our first founding-day as a community of four, and are proud to announce a new novice, two new postulants, and a load of good news. Please enjoy our newsletter and count on our prayers. You can access our newsletter here: DVM Newsletter: Volume 1
Please join the Daughters for a Reflection Talk and High Tea on Sunday, June 11th, 2017! Sister Mary Raphael, DVM, will speak on authentic femininity, the Daughters' life of prayer and active service for the sanctification of priests, their history and their future plans. We hope you can join us! The event will be hosted at Saint Ann's Church in Charlotte and at neighboring St. Joseph's College Seminary. Please RSVP to Victoria Borin at victoriaborin@gmail.com or (704) 488-6932.
"As breathing requires atmosphere, so love requires a Christosphere and a Mariasphere. That ideal love we see beyond all creature love, and to which we instinctively turn when flesh-love fails, is the same ideal that God had in His Heart from all eternity - the Lady Whom He would call our Blessed 'Mother.' She is the one every man loves when he loves a woman - whether he knows it or not. She is what every woman wants to be when she looks at herself." Archbishop Fulton Sheen
