On
February 14, 2016 at 9:30 am, on the First Sunday of Lent, the
Carmelite Sisters received a new novice, Sr. Mary Philomena Anne of
Divine Mercy, O.Carm. The Reception Ceremony was held in private at St.
Teresa’s Chapel located at St. Teresa’s Motherhouse in Germantown, New
York. Father Paul Denault, O.Carm. was the celebrant. The Reception
Ceremony is held after the Postulant completes her eight months of
living the life of the Congregation. She is then received into the
Congregation as a Novice and given the Carmelite habit, her religious
name and the Rule and Constitutions of the Congregation.
We
join Sr. Philomena Anne in this happy occasion and pray that her
journey in Carmel will be blessed and bear abundant fruits for the glory
of God!
This is wonderful news! Blessing to Sr. Mary Philomena Anne of Divine Mercy
