Today we had the joy of welcoming a new novice into the community on the feast of Our Lady of Fatima! Marie Cote, a native of Rhode Island, completed her six months of Postulancy and was received as a Novice of the Sisters, Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Mass this morning. Sister received the habit and white veil of a Novice and a new name in religion: Sister Maria Veronica!
Many of the Cote family, and extended family, were present at the ceremony and luncheon that followed. Now Sister enters into two years of formation in preparation for First Vows. Please join us in welcoming our new Novice, and keep her in your prayers! Perseverance, Sister Maria Veronica!
