So Long! We'll Be Back!
Our Novices are on their way to visit their families after having completed their first year of religious formation as Novices. They have become Senior Novices and they wear the title with pride! (good pride that is) They make their way by land and air to visit parents, brothers and sisters in Western New York, Colorado, New Mexico and Bronx, New York. We wish them safe travels and trust that their guardian angels will bring them back! Have a wonderful time, Sisters!

"OATIE VISITS AVILA"
On
the Feast of Saint Francis, the Novices and Postulants, received a visit from Sr.
Francis Patrick and her pet parrot Oatie. He has a reputation of being a smart talking bird, throwing words like "God bless you!" when someone sneezes, or "Are you okay?" when Sr. Francis Patrick is not herself. Whether this amazing skill is true or not, was put to the test, when Novices, Postulants and their Formators gathered during recreation to test the famous bird. Did Oatie pass the test??
walked in with the camera
I AM "OATIE"
Waiting for the "Oatie moment" ........
