On the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes (who appeared to Bernadette so many years ago) – Saint Benedict Center was blessed to present to Our Lady a fitting gift for her beautiful feast – a new vocation!
Towards the end of the feast day Mass, in a short ceremony where the aspirant petitions for the “mercy of God and the companionship of the community,” the Sisters received Erin Kelly as a postulant into their community.
This six month period, a prelude to the Noviciate, will offer the postulant a chance to live the life of a Slave of the Immaculate Heart of Mary with the Sisters in serious discernment.
Please keep Erin in your prayers as she begins her journey towards becoming a Bride of Christ!
Perseverance, Erin!
