 Every journey requires preparation. Every lifework requires education. Every vocation requires formation. Mary, although conceived full of grace and free from original sin, was not exempt from this law of human nature. Mary needed formation for her high calling as the Mother of God, thus tradition tells us that she took up residence in the Temple at the tender age of three years old.
 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.
 "Praying for the souls in purgatory is the highest act of supernatural charity"
-Pope St. John Paul II  “All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven.” Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1030
 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.
 October 2nd is the feast of our Holy Guardian Angels. God gives every person, not only the baptized, an angel to lead, guard, and guide them throughout their lives.
 Last weekend, teachers, catechists, and parish leaders from across the diocese came together for the annual Religious Educational Congress.
