Today postulant Sally Yu, from California, began her novitiate. Sally is now Sister Sylvia Marie (using her baptism name of Sylvia, as is our custom). Today we also welcomed a new postulant, Debra Comins, from upstate New York, Here is a photo of Sister Sylvia Marie and one of her with Debbie, Sr. Mary Beata, the novice director, and Mother Maria Catherine.
Please join us in this prayer from the ceremony of reception into the novitiate: “Let us pray for all Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate, that we remain faithful to the original vocation of Mother Mary Teresa in our contemplative communion with Jesus, our thirst for holiness of life, sisterly charity, and missionary zeal for the most rejected and neglected.”
