We are blessed to have two young women entering our priory in Norfolk, Nebraska in September.  One of our aspirants is traveling with two of our Sisters to WYD 2016 in Poland, please pray for their safe travels and more vocations to Missionary Benedictine life.

Absolutely, Salveregina!  I will pray for your postulants (did I use that term correctly?) and for safe travels for your sisters and aspirant.   What a fun trip!  It's so exciting to read about all of these ordinations and entrances!

No word yet on the Province of the Holy Names (western), but they've been thriving for the last ten or twelve years.

Word from the Western province has arrived: 6 novices in 2016. 

So for the US Dominicans, there are a total of 30 novices nationwide. Pretty dang good!

Today is the Postulant entrances for the DSMNEs!! I wonder how many are entering 

[Ceaseless-Longing]

The Franciscan Sisters of Penance of the Sorrowful Mother (aka the TOR Sisters, at least locally) have recently welcomed 3 postulants, pictured below. The one on the front right was active on Tumblr for years.

 

It wouldn't let me insert a photo of the 3 women who entered the noviate, making 5 novices total. (One of the second year novices is a very good friend of mine! #collegeroomies).

Again, couldn't insert picture, but 3 woman took their First Profession of Vows. Two women celebrated the 25th anniversary of their final vows.
