Part of our Novitiate experience is to return to our home Congregations to celebrate Christmas with our sisters and re-connect. Our agendas include meetings with leadership, volunteering at holiday festivities, doing research in the archives, spending time with the elder sisters, and absorbing more of the culture of our communities. Another important part of our time “home” is to explain our novitiate experience to the sisters. Our experience is very different from theirs, which leaves a lot of questions, but the larger goals are the same across the generations.
We also have a chance to see our families whom we left behind when we moved to St. Louis in August.During our break we will not be updating the blog as often, but will be back on schedule in mid-January.
Thanks for your prayers and support.

Christmas blessings of peace, joy and much love to you and your families. We will be remembering you in prayer during this beautiful season.
