Sisters of the Visitation Of Holy Mary

Our beloved Sr. Mary Charles went home to the Lord on June 10th. She was a true religious of the Visitation, professed for 55yrs. Sister served the community in many ways over the years especially in the kitchen and the "proc's office" (caring for and giving out needed supplies and equipment). Her gracious and jovial spirit always added laughter and smiles in community life. As we commend her into the arms of her beloved, we humbly beg you to join your prayers to ours for her soul and for those who loved her.

It is our custom to honor Our Lady in the month of May and on the Feast of the Visitation, there is a procession and crowing on one of the statues in the monastery. This year the statue in our chapel was honored, and Our Lady insisted that a crown also be given to her Infant King!

On March 19th, our Sr. Margaret Joseph made her Solemn Profession as a Sister of the Visitation.

Our Dear Sr. Gemma Maria went home to the Lord on January 17th. Although physically bound in a wheelchair for most of her life due to polio as a child, she was an ever active member of our community, especially as a seamstress for the sisters and for priests as she loved to create vestments for the their use at Holy Mass. Sr. Gemma had a lively spirit and a joy-filled soul. We will miss her dearly but know that now she can dance with Jesus! Please keep her soul in your prayers and know she continues to pray for you.
