Each year the joy of the Easter and Pentecost season is extended for us Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa by both the monthly devotions and the great Feasts which the Church offers us in June and July. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is honored in the month of June, and in July we honor the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. Within these two months are many great Feasts, but our Community especially loves Corpus Christi.
 On the 4th of July, we celebrate and give thanks to God for our beautiful country. We have the traditional BBQ, decorate our patio with red, white, and blue, have a water balloon toss, sing patriotic songs around the campfire, and -- for those willing to stay up after grand silence -- watch the local fireworks from the top of our hill. But beyond these joyous and meaningful community traditions, we spend the day in prayer for our country.
 On May 31st, feast of the Visitation of Mary, we celebrated the First Profession of Vows of Sr. Mary Michael of the Pierced Heart of Mary. At the profession Mass in the presence of the Bishop and her Sisters, Sister Mary Michael vowed to conform her life to Christ by following His example of poverty, consecrated chastity, and obedience.
 "For see, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of pruning the vines has come, and the song of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines, in bloom, give forth fragrance. Arise, my friend, my beautiful one, and come!" Song of Songs 2:11-13
 It has been two months now since our last “Month in Review” – what a full and grace-filled time it has been for us Sisters! Lent and Easter brought a time of deeper prayer and conversion of heart for each of us, but also a time of fervent apostolic activity.
 As Marian Sisters, we are greatly devoted to the Blessed Mother but we also take as our patron a man who made an immense impact in spreading devotion to Our Lady, St. Louis Marie de Montfort.
