On July 6, 2019 at
9:00 am, as the Universal Church celebrates the memorial of the virgin
Saint Maria Goretti, ,our three Postulants, Sr. Doris, Sr. Sharon and
Sr. Morgan, received their Carmelite habit and religious names. It was
a private ceremony attended by the local community at Saint Teresa's
Motherhouse in Germantown, New York. Mother Mark Louis Anne, Prioress
General, assisted by Sr. Lois Ann , Postulant Director, and Sr. Helena
of Mary, Novice Director, received the new novices into the Carmelite
family. The Eucharistic liturgy followed right after the ceremony with
Fr. James Hess, O.Carm., Chaplain to the Sisters, as celebrant. The
event was a moving witness on how God continually calls young women to
follow Him in an exclusive way of the evangelical counsels, and how many
of our young still hears and responds "YES" to His voice, amidst this
increasingly confused and secular world. With the reception of the Carmelite Habit, the new novices also received their new religious names: Sr. M. Dolores Carmel, Sr. M. Sharon Rose Carmel, Sr. M. Joanne Therese Carmel. Pray for them!
