From Holy Cross Trappist Abbey in Virginia: 

"Br. John’s Profession of Vows

February 24, 2020 by Fr Joseph 

Following on the joyful celebration of Br. Elijah’s reception of the habit earlier in the month [see a previous post in this thread], this last Sunday [23 February] was yet another cause for celebration and gratitude to God as Br. John Blaschik pronounced his First Vows. Having completed his first three years of formation, Br. John now continues his preparation for Final Vows, three years from now. Please join us in thanking God for this blessing on our community and let us all continue to support Br. John with our prayers for the years ahead. May God who has begun this good work in Br. John bring it to completion in Christ Jesus Our Lord."

From the Dominican Sisters of St Catherine of Siena, Newcastle, Natal - this is an English congregation of sisters. I think a member of the Phamily may have entered this congregation a few years ago. The news below is from their mission in South Africa:

"March 8 at 11:09 AM ·

What a weekend it has been! We give thanks to God with great joy for the new vocations With which He has gifted us.

On Friday, Minh Ja, Ngan and Andiswa were received into the Pre-Novitiate. Early Saturday morning, Sister Sifundo was received into the Novitiate and clothed in the habit, and later four Sisters made their a first Profession: Sister Sphelele, Sister Nonhlanhla, Sister Maria Tam and Sister Maria Thuy.

We beg God’s blessing on each of our Sisters, that He May strengthen and guide them day by day in their journey to Him."

Another sister made final profession on 15 February.

Please join us in welcoming our five new brother postulants: Jason, Travis, Estevan, Horacio, and Valentin. According to our monastic tradition, these men were received into the postulancy in a simple ceremony on the eve of the Feast of the Transitus of St. Benedict. We praise God for his mercy and kindness, and for the courageous generosity of these men to answer God’s call joyfully even in this difficult time.
