Sunday’s August 19, 2012, Eucharist reading from Ephesians invites all hearers ” to try to understand what is the will of God”. Today young women acted on these words and began a journey as Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity Postulants in Manitowoc, WI.
As you may imagine, the first days with us include helpful sessions to familiarize the young women not only with our large Motherhouse with its many rooms, staircases and chapels, but oh so much more. Fitting of postulant habits, time for prayer and relaxed moments to get to know each other and our Sisters living at Holy Family Convent and near by convents will be some of the initial experiences. Sister Elaine Turba is entrusted with overseeing this important program of orientation. The year-long goal is growth in dialogue about the principles, values and common spirit of our Franciscan way of life and to prepare for the Novitiate.
