Pictured here are three Sisters who received their veil this year. As is the custom, each year three of those who made their First Vows come and talk to the Dominican Laity and share their spiritual journey into the religious life.
Pictured (left to right) are: Sister Agnes, O.P., Sister Bernadette Marie, O.P., and Sister Mara Grace, O.P.
It is always a highlight of the year when the Sisters share their faith journey with us. They are a visible contradiction to a secular culture of materialism and relativism.
