Congratulations to Sr. Valentina who renewed her vows on the Memoria of the Holy Name of Mary.
We thank God for her yes and the spirit of joy she brings to our community. Please pray for her as she continues this journey of discernment.
Once a sister has taken her first, or temporary vows she enters a stage of formation known as Juniorate during which vows are renewed annually for a minimum of three years whilst the journey of discernment and formation continues. The sister and community may then discern that the time has come for final vows or permanent profession where vows are made for the rest of one’s lifetime.
