Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Sr. Maria is becoming a novice on August 8th! She began her retreat today!
TheresaThoma Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 There is a young adult Mass event that I attend and this past week they had everyone who is entering the seminary or religious life come up. For the women we have one entering the Sisters of Life, one entering the Nashville Dominicans, one entering the Mercedarians of the Blessed Sacrament. For the guys there are three new seminarians! It was really beautiful.
Luigi Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 St. Procopius Benedictine abbey in Lisle, IL has received a novice. Br. Elias enters novitiate Posted by Abbot Austin on July 5, 2015 at 8:40 AM Taking the name Elias and being clothed in the monastic habit, Mark Dicosola entered the novitiate on Sunday, July 4th, during Solemn Vespers on the solemnity of St. Procopius. Br. Elias has spent the last four and a half month as a postulant at the abbey, taking classes and doing various assignments. During the novitiate he will also take classes and have various assignments, but it will be a more intense and focused time to learn the monastic practices, spirituality, and history of St. Procopius Abbey. Please keep Br. Elias in your prayers.
Luigi Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) At the Carmelite monastery in St. Louis... "On June 12, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, Sr. Maria Battista made her first vows." http://www.stlouiscarmel.com/ There are a couple of photos in the rotating slide show on the web site. Those photos also show a postulant. If you click on the 'Community' link, you'll see a group photo of all the nuns - nine black veils, four white veils, and one short-white-veil. The woman who made first vows must be that short-white-veil in the group photo. Which would mean the community now has nine black veils and five white veils. The postulant playing the violin must not be in the group photo, which means the community is actually one person larger than the group photo indicates. All of which is good.
