I have come across lovely photos of the Final Profession of Vows at the Community.

Scrowl down to Slideshows.

This was a joyous occasion for all those priviliged to have witnesssed the ceremoy and the three sisters certainly looked radiant.

I'm not too keen on the tinsel halos - they spoil the effect of the coif. Apart from that, beautiful photos!

Anyone know why the Sisters process in with candles?

Anyone know why the Sisters process in with candles? (other than they look cool )

I love how their parents "give them away"! If my dad saw that he'd request entrance papers in my name

Cool, I was there

Aww Sr. Mary Scholastica :luv: she was sooo nice!

The "tinsel halo" is actually a wreath, "woven from God's beauty" I think is the wording used in the ceremony. It was amazing! And afterwards you could find them at the feet of the statue of Our Lady of Mt Carmel--I find that the sisters, a lot of times, give them to her. :D yay <3
