One knows that the grace of the novitiate years has been effective when a novice asks for, and is welcomed, for her First Vows.

Brooklyn Visitation Monastery’s Sisters are pleased that  August 15th, The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother, has been chosen as the day that Sister Synthia will make her First Profession of the Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience.

Sister Synthia moved from the State of Michigan, her home state, when she heard the call of the Lord to enter the Visitation Order at its Brooklyn, New York Monastery.

Her deep prayerfulness and  giftedness in art, music and education helps her serve the Lord in many ways.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus enfold her as she prepares for this deep commitment of her entire being.

Please pray for Sister Synthia and the Brooklyn community for our continued faithfulness and growth in the Visitandine, monastic way of life.
