On August 15th we celebrated with many Bishops and priests, family and friends with our Sisters who made their next step in religious life. We give thanks for the gift of thirteen Sisters offering their lives forever to the Lord in perpetual profession, three Sisters making their first profession and two women being received into the Novitiate. Much grace was poured out upon them this day! May their hearts always remain open to all the Lord wants to give them. You can check out more pictures from August 15th on our website and also take a picture tour of the day as well!
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"!

Congratulations to each of you!
What happy, smiling faces! Just like a bride on her wedding day!
Where are you going to work in your apostolates?
May God's choicest blessings be yours and the entire Comunity with many more vocations!
Humbly,
A grateful reader
There are four women entering this September. No, some Sisters did not celebrate their Jubilees on the 15th. God bless you!
