Anyone know if the Sister Servants of the Eternal Word have gone through any of the blessed vocation transistions? IOW, have they had their professions and novitiate entrances this summer, yet? Pictures Any word on our pm sisters, lilabett and... oh, name escaping me at the moment!

jgirl? I think they're going to get the habit soon. Maybe maggie could update us.

Yes, jgirl. Thank you. I love our phamily.

The Sisters are getting their new names and the habit on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption. I believe there will be four new novices. I will let the pham know as soon as I get word!

I visited with them in February and the two PM postulants were doing great at the time. lilabet had injured her jaw (in her sleep...) but was recovering just fine.

My sister, Lilllabettt, is now Sister Mary Amata of the Divine Love of Jesus! I was at work when she called, and my mother forgot to ask her what the other girls' names were. I'm going to see what I can find out

That's a really pretty name.

What a beautiful name!!! Can you find out the other names for us?? Especially Sr. Jenny (jgril)? Thanks!

Sounds like TMJ. They prolly got her a night guard so her teeth can slide as much as they want to without taking her jaw joint out of socket.

Blessings,
Gemma

That's what they did for me. it's helps a lot.

Sorry WAYYYY off topic

Sr. Jenny is now Sr. Madeleine Marie

Of?!

I'm not sure if she told us the "of" part or not.

She choose Madeleine to honor St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, who founded the Society of the Sacred Heart in France (Jenny was a French major who loved all things French). St. Madeleine sent St. Philippine Duchesne out as the orders first missionary to the New World. She established Sacred Heart School in St. Charles, Mo, which is Jenny's home town.

I like her line of thought!

Welcome JGirlsDad! I am a friend of Sr. Madeleine Marie's from when she was in high school and college through IW. I am sooo excited to here her new name!! Do you have any pictures yet???

Sr Jenny: Sr Madeleine Marie (for St Madeleine Sophie Barat)
Sr Elizabeth: Sr Mary Amata
Sr Debbie: Sr Benedicta Marie (for St Benedict)
Sr Rebecca: Sr Asunta Marie (for Bl. Asunta Pallotta)

COOL!!!! JgirlsDad! )))

No pics yet. She said they took some and would send them along. We are eagerly awaiting them.

I bet

I met Sr. Jenny when I was visiting in Feb. She was on crutches at that time.

I the SsEW. I've never been to visit them, but one sister in particular will always be near and dear to my heart. It makes me happy to see her so at peace with and joyful in her vocation.

I hope you can make a retreat there at some point! My mom was never able to do that kind of thing when we were all little (at one point three of my siblings were in diapers at the same time) but now that the youngest is old enough to dress himself, etc., it's becoming easier for her to do these kinds of things (not THAT easy, though!)

Yeah, I hope so. I would love to see her again--its been 4 years since we were able to get together (plus I hear their retreats are awesome). But she has had some amazing experiences with the Sisters, I wouldn't have it any other way!
