In a private, family ceremony in our Chapter Hall Sr. Deepa and Sr. Giang began their novitiate and received the long-sought for holy habit of the Order of Preachers!
We always have to wait until the very end of the ceremony to learn the new names and finally Sr. Mary Martin pronounced to all, "In baptism you were known as Deepa Karen Kingry, now you will be known as:
Sr. Veronica Marie of the Heart of Jesus
And then we heard again, "In baptism you were known as Giang Vo, now you will be known as:
Sr. Joseph Maria of the Holy Family
Please pray for our new sisters that they may find joy and a long life in the Order Preachers!
