clk Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 I am surprised because she made her final vows so recently, but I wish her joy and grace in her new role.

GraceUk Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 She seems very down to earth and sensible. But I was surprised too as she hasn't been professed for very many years and is quite young.
