Having completed her months as a postulant, the first step in religious life, Madeleine Robbins took the habit and veil of a Novice on September 8th, 2024.
It was symbolically beautiful that on the feast of the Nativity of Our Lady, she would begin a new life with a new name in religion! She is now known as Sister Maria Francesca, taking the intrepid Mother Cabrini as her namesake and patroness.
Please pray for Sister Maria Francesca as she embarks on the two-year program of Novitiate, a time of study and training in preparation for First Vows. May our sweet Blessed Mother and the zealous Mother Cabrini be her inspiration and guides. Perseverance Sister!
