Mission Bound

Our Novices received their much anticipated news of where they will spend their Mission Experience!  As part of their continuing formation, senior novices are sent to one of the facilities served by the Congregation to continue the mission experience began during postulancy of caring for our Residents. 

Sr. Mary Catherine Angeline looks forward to going to Marian Manor in South Boston, MA.
 













Sr. Luke Mary said that she is packed and ready for Carmel Manor in Fort Thomas, KY.












Sr. Hope Therese is happy to spend her mission experience in Carmel Richmond, Staten Island, NY.














And Sr. Maureen Paul was ecstatic to be going to a warmer climate in Lourdes Noreen McKeen Residence in West Palm Beach, FL! She misses her New Mexico climate.

We wish our dear Novices a blessed and happy Mission Experience. They leave Saint Teresa's Motherhouse on January 31, 2014!  In the words of our Foundress, Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa, "Sisters, are your shoes shined?"
