[quote]How did you decided on All Saint's Day or did they pick that for you?[/quote]

I picked it. I was having a little trouble picking a date. All Saints was my ideal feast/solemnity, because it's one of my favorites. And I wanted all the help I could get. lol. Apparently it's actually customary to take a feast of Our Lady, and Mother Vicar did ask if I wanted to pick one of those after she told me I could come, but I wanted to stick with All Saints... I get Our Lady and all the rest too!

I was reluctant about that date because it was so soon, and because many of my closest friends and others I would want to come to my investiture and other ceremonies are teachers or will be in college for a while, and November is right in the middle of the school year, so they might not be able to come... but I decided to let that work out for itself. I thought of the feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus for that reason... but I'm happy with my date. Though it is before Christmas and Thanksgiving.... I think my family was sad about that.

Thats interesting, I thought that you had to pick a Marian day. All Saints Day is a beautiful choice! When I was trying to imagine my future I always thought that I would like to enter on the feast of Divine Mercy which is so very close to my heart but I always thought that either All Saints Day or the feast of the Archangels (Sept 29th) or the Guardian angels (Oct 2) would be wonderful as well. Then again St Francis or St Clare or St Augustine (which would be my birthday) would be great as well. Oh so many choices lol! I think I would find it really hard to enter before Christmas and I know my parents would have a fit if I did. You are a real inspiration for being able to follow your heart! I thought about friends and family too. I was thinking that entering in the winter months could be a real travel issue for us in Canada but like you said, it is best to just let those those go and trust Thanks for sharing with us!

lol! I would be happy to enter after you and so would my mum : I have been thinking about this a lot and I just dont know. As much as I love Divine Mercy that would be in late April so that is probably too long and the weak human side of me really doesnt want to enter before Christmas I just pray that the Lord will let me know when and where (seeing as I havent even visited OLAM I just love it so much I talk like I am going to enter there lol)
Only 3 days til take-off!!!
