On the 21st of April Sr Theodora entered our community as a Postulant. This is the first stage in the monastic journey which is usually for the duration of six months before becoming a novice. It is also a time for the Sister and the community to discern if she has a true calling for this life. She received a short black veil and a medal of the Sacred Heart.
Entrance of Postulant
Rev.Mother Rachel (Prioress) gives a crucifix to Sr Theodora and says "Hearken O daughter, to the call of Christ as you take up your cross to follow him for he says - 'If anyone will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily , and follow me.'"
