A New Novice
The Dominican Nuns joyfully announce the vestition of their postulant, Sister Karina, on October 27, the vigil of the feast of Sts. Simon and Jude. In a simple ceremony marking the beginning of her two years of novitiate, Sister Karina received the holy habit of the Dominican Order, and her new religious name:
Sister Mary Catherine de la Guadalupana, O.P.
Please keep Sister Mary Catherine in your prayers as she sets out on this new stage of her Dominican vocation, that she may fulfill the words from the ceremony’s concluding prayer: “May you apply yourself assiduously to following our Holy Father St. Dominic so that you may be ready for the day of your espousals to Jesus Christ.”
