Our Lady's Day

Saturday, traditionally dedicated specially to the honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a Marian day in the convent as well. Together we renew our total consecration to Jesus through Mary and honor her by our devotional practices. In imitation of her hidden life, we thoroughly clean the convent each Saturday, but the day is also marked by a wide variety of apostolic activities.

As our Lady brought Jesus to St. Elizabeth for the sanctification of St. John the Baptist, the Sisters strive to unite with the mystery of the Visitation in their various activities.

This past Saturday was particularly dedicated to apostolic adventures. Sisters presented to the Little Flowers girls and Ave Maria Club, moderated the Our Lady of Grace Sodality meeting, attended the Diocesan Catholic Women's meeting, and gave a Confirmation retreat to ninety attentive young people. ​Deo Gratias!

“All the gifts, virtues and graces of the Holy Ghost are distributed by Mary, to whom she wishes, when she wishes, the way wishes and as much as she wishes.”
