 As Marian Sisters, we say daily in our Charism Statement that “we strive to magnify Jesus Christ through communicating the beauty, goodness, and truth of the Catholic faith in a spirit of joyful evangelization.” Some of the most joyful moments of evangelization take place during School Visits.
 Inspired by National Vocation's Awareness Week, which we celebrated earlier this month, the Sisters took a few minutes to reflect and share about the gift of their vocations.
 October is a month full of feast days and packed with activity for our Sisters. Thanks be to God for His blessings and graces which sustained all of these adventures!
 Kids say the darndest things! And children seeing Religious Sisters in habit for the first time are no exception. We’re heard it all from, “Look at the princess!” to “Is that an angel?” and “Are those elves?” But our favorite is when we hear the kids call out, “Hi Mary!” or “Look at all the Marys!” Because, as Marian Sisters, being Mary to the world is really what we are going for.
 In August, the Sisters' hearts and minds turn from their summer apostolates towards the coming school year with much preparation and expectation.
 In June, many of our Sisters traveled up the coast and served in camps for the young people of Ft. Bragg and Crescent City.
 January always seems to spring upon us! It is far away and then suddenly we are half way through! This is in no small part because all our love, time, and attention goes to preparing to celebrate our dear Savior's birth, a celebration which is extended well into the new year. This year was no different. In fact, it was probably more so, given that our Sisters made vows on December 27, the feast of John the Beloved, in addition to the usual festivities.
 “Apostolic action will proceed from our intimate union with God… We ask Our Lady to share with us the love which enables us to offer our lives every day for Christ and to cooperate with Him in the Salvation of the World” (MSSR Constitutions).
 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.
 The secular year has just begun and already it has been chock full of graces! The year came in as the Sisters quietly watched with our Lord in silent adoration, welcoming the new year under our Lady's gracious patronage.
