franciscanlady Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I came across these pics thanks to an "Imagine Sisters" Facebook post. On that day, one sister made her first profession, while another renewed her vows. It was such a beautiful ceremony!

ToJesusMyHeart Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Do those postulants look like sisters to anybody else, or is it just me? Sisters as in, blood sisters. Edited August 4, 2012 by ToJesusMyHeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franciscanlady Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Just today the twin postulants were interviewed by the news station in Corpus Christi.

OnlySunshine Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 That really is both amazing and rare that God would not only call twin sisters to the same order but at the same time. I've heard of twins entering the same order but at separate times so their formation was separate, such as the Australian twins in the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. One entered about two years before the other became a postulant, so the other was making first vows while the other was beginning formation.
