Vestition of Sr. Miriam Esther of the Sacred Heart

Here they are: photos of the long-awaited day of Sr. Miriam Esther’s vestition! It is a moving, private ceremony, an occasion of grace for the new novice and her whole community, as each of us remembers with gratitude the grace of the shared Passionist vocation. Tomorrow we will also share Mother John Mary’s powerful exhortation given during the Vestition, a meditation of the story of Esther.
