The month of June was full of travels, and I thought I’d be able to keep up with the blog, but it proved impossible. (I will get back to posting as usual next week, on Monday.) Between beautiful centenary celebrations for our 100th anniversary of foundation (Boston and New York), and a visit with family, June for me has been a month of renewal and above all, gratitude to God. Over and over again, I have thanked God for the great gift of his faithful love as manifested to me in my congregation, the Daughters of Saint Paul. (Visit here for a glimpse of the most joyous occasion of Sr. Emi Magnificat’s perpetual profession last week!)

Finally, a last call for those young women who are interested in discernment: Our sisters are offering a very special week-end discernment retreat at our retreat house in Billerica, MA in just two weeks. We’re extending the registration deadline, so please share this with any young woman whom you know is discerning. Depending on how many participants we have, I might be called upon to help out at the retreat.

Have a blessed weekend.
