Celebrating Jubilees at the Motherhouse!

October 5th saw a big celebration at Saint Teresa's Motherhouse as five of our Avila Sisters celebrated their 60 and 50 years as Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm.  Of course, the Postulants and Novices were invited and had a great time!  Now, who said being a Sister is no fun?
