Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Deo Gratias! I want to share with all of you that Sr. Deepa and Sr. Giang have been approved to begin their novitiate and receive the habit on March 15th, feast of St. Joseph! They are very happy! Hopefully, Sr. Martha won't be the only "bluebird" and that Lauren will be with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 [quote name='DameAgnes' post='1442750' date='Jan 6 2008, 06:21 PM']Congrats to both sisters and to the Summit Nuns. Has it been a whole year already? Time certainly flies![/quote] No, it will be exactly 9 months from their entrance date. We officially have 1 year for postulancy but we can decide to shorten it if we wish. However, we can't extend postulancy longer than 1 year according to our constitutions. Please pray for Anne who just arrived today for her aspirancy! God bless you! Dame Catharine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have cloistered Dominican nuns here any more. The nearest monastery is in Ireland. I don't ask for myself (I hope to enter Carmel) but it would be wonderful if the contemplative Dominican presence could be resuscitated in this country.
