Where are these pics taken from? That's not the chapel at the motherhouse.

It looks like the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville.

Oh ok because the layout and architecture of it is strikingly similar to their actual chapel at the motherhouse but the design is very different. I wonder why they didn't have final professions at the motherhouse.  I think they usually do.

It depends on the number of sisters and the expected number of guests. The Ann Arbor sisters have also had vows outside of their motherhouse for that very reason.

Such clear, evident, and total joy..............

I think they essentially fill up the Motherhouse chapel just by having all the sisters home, so it's not very surprising to me that they'd have it at the Cathedral. The motherhouse chapel is fairly recent, they've just been growing so fast lately. When I was there in May they were joking that they only had one bed left, so the retreat was a competition to see which of the 20 of us would get it. :P I did recognize some of the sisters from my visit though. :)

 

Beautiful ceremony though, thanks for sharing. I especially loved the picture of the sisters hugging at 2:50, for the same reason that watching them bow to one another during the Salve procession is one of my favorite things ever.  Do you know whenabouts during the year this took place?
