Thanksgiving is such a beautiful time of year. A day filled with love and gratitude for our families and God's many blessings. I am truly grateful for my call to religious life and all the blessings it has been to me. Not only for my sisters, but also for the ministries I have been privileged to serve in, and especially the many people who I have encountered who have shared their lives with me, gifted me with their presence and taught me so much! If you are one of them...Thank you!

We wish you and your loved ones a very blessed Thanksgiving!

Next week we begin the season of Advent!
Advent is a wonderful time to listen to the Lord and discern as Mary did. Women considering a vocation can identify with Mary. Wanting to be open to God.... Not sure what God is asking on me....Having fears...Wondering how could God be calling me? All these things Mary pondered in her heart! Join us for a Come and See Retreat in Advent, December 1-3 at St. Clare's Convent in Tampa. Come listen...and ponder in your heart! For more information, to register, or for our scehdule of retreats, refer to Discernment Retreats.

God bless,
