Hello, my name is Ashley Vola and I am 19 years old. I am the youngest in my family and I have one older brother, Michael. I lived with my Mom, Dad, and brother, Michael in Lake St. Louis, Missouri my whole life. Some things I enjoy doing with family and friends include camping, hiking, playing cards, listening to music and reading. I love being outside whenever I have the chance. I felt very drawn to the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George through the Holy Spirit. With the Sisters I found the deepest desires of my heart being satisfied in their peace and joy. Mary's 'yes' of pure love helped me to give my yes to our Lord.
Today, on the Feast of the Birth of Mary, our new postulants entered the postulancy of our American Province of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George! We thank God for the gift of these vocations. Pictured above - on their very first full day in the convent - are (from left) Ashley Vola, Samantha Goodson, Miranda Edgar, Jennifer Clark and Erin Leis. Welcome, Postulants! We Sisters are grateful that you have accepted Christ's invitation to belong totally to Him in our Franciscan community, and we support you wholeheartedly with our prayers and help! If you would like to send a word of welcome and encouragement to these new postulants, we will pass the greetings along to them. Just leave them as a "comment"!
