What is Big News Anyway?
It's hard to pin down what would be our biggest news since the last e-newsletter. Students and Sisters in Catholic schools, Youth Ministry programs and getting closer to God, marriage retreats or renovations?
What is each Sister up to?
There are many exciting things happening around here, but perhaps the biggest celebration would be Sr. M. Celine's 50th Jubilee! 50 years of service and love and faithfulness. That's something to celebrate, for sure!
Our Sisters in initial formation are taking their next steps in the process: Sr. Mary Grace renewed her vows for one year. Sr. Mary Magdalene is in the second year of her two year renewal in preparation for Final Vows. Sr. Mary Jude is also preparing for final vows in the near future. May all be as God wills.
Crystal (far right in picture above) entered our community on July 15th. Several applicants are set to enter next summer, as well. God's bountiful blessings overflow and cover us continually. His mercies are ever ancient and ever new. Please keep us all in your prayers as we strive to grow closer to the Lord and to live in God's Will.

St. Michael
is a Favorite Saint for Many
ST. FRANCIS loved him, too!

St. Michael
Feast Day: September 29 |
Did you know that St. Francis had a great devotion to St. Michael? When St. Francis received the stigmata on September 17, 1224, he was in the middle of a 40 day fast to prepare for St. Michael's Feast Day.

|
Happy Feast of St. Francis!
Don't forget to celebrate on October 4th.
