 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.
 The Sisters continue working on their masterpieces for our live auction at our February 8th event: An Evening with the Sisters. Previously, we shared a few pictures of the Sacred Hearts piece. It has really progressed over the last week!
 The Sisters are! We are busily preparing absolutely unique pieces of art to share with you.

 Dear Friends,
Praised be Jesus and Mary! Happy Thanksgiving! It is with profound gratitude that we thank God for each and everyone of you on this day for giving thanks.  On June 26, several of the Sisters had the great privilege and joy of attending the solemn consecration of Cardinal Newman High School’s new chapel! Bishop Robert Vasa celebrated the Mass, with several priests of the diocese concelebrating. In attendance were various families and individuals connected with the school and the building of the new chapel. For most of them - as for several of the Sisters - this was the first consecration of a church that they had ever witnessed! The Church provides her children with a beautiful liturgy for such a sacred occasion, and the Sisters were blessed to assist by singing for Holy Mass. Some highlights of the liturgy include: the anointing of the altar and chapel walls with chrism oil, the lighting of incense on the altar, the dressing of the altar with liturgical linens, and the lighting of candles on both the altar and the walls of the chapel. Men and women, old and young, clergy, religious, and laity were all present for this sacred and beautiful liturgy, the first of many that will be held in the new chapel. It was a truly wonderful event, and we were very glad to witness to our charism of living the fullness of the Church’s liturgical life with so many of the faithful!  June flew by! We are very grateful for all the blessings our Lord poured upon us in the Month of His Sacred Heart. We began the month focusing on the Holy Eucharist and the Priesthood with the Ordination of two priests and the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. We were privileged to sing for both events. The Sisters always decorate one of the altars for the Corpus Christi procession and this year dressed the altar for our new priest's first Mass.

Praised be Jesus and Mary! We are pleased to announce the election and installation of our new Mother Superior, Mother Caritas Marie, and our Vicaress, Sr. Mary Victoria. This milestone is the culmination of months of prayer and communal discernment under the guidance of Bishop Robert Vasa, Father Thomas Nelson, O.Praem. (an expert in Religious Life), and Mother Joan Paul, CK.  “Stay with us Lord, for it is almost evening" (Luke 24:29). We are in the period of time between the Ascension and Pentecost – marveling at our Lord’s Divinity and Humanity in glory with the Father in Heaven, and awaiting the promised Advocate. As the Easter season, replete with the glorious mysteries of our Lord’s life, draws soon to its close our prayer too is for our Lord to remain with us. Of course, He is with us!
