What a beautiful Feast to select as a day to profess their final vows.  Sr Annette and Sr Ann Marie in vowing Obedience, Stability and Conversion, committed their lives to Christ in a monastic community.

 May the Mary the Mother of God and Elizabeth, her cousin, continue to guide them in their vocation.
