Sister Mary Immaculata, P.C.P.A. — Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, Solemn Profession in the great Diocese of Charlotte, N.C. In the photo above the funeral pall is being draped over her, for she is now dead to the world so as live only for Christ Jesus. Yikes! The funeral pall. Underneath, she’s in dread joy. Yep. Dread joy! The magnificence of the majesty of the Son of God inviting her to be given totally over as a living sacrifice of intercession for the members of His Mystical Body of whatever time or location. The magnificence of the majesty!
See how happy! True blessedness. Bishop Jugis is always thrilled in this great faith of ours especially, most evidently to all, on the days of ordination and profession, a true Father of the Family of Faith. Sister Mary Immaculata is rejoicing in such joy. The Holy Spirit!
Here’s a video you can see on their website. Note that the music is very cool for the video. The Mass of Profession was, of course, loaded with Latin Gregorian Chant!
Vocations, anyone!?!?!? Go to their site and check them out!
Don’t forget, they are trying to build a monastery. Are there any of you who can help?!??!!??
Accompany me, Father George David Byers, S.S.L., S.T.D., as I begin life as a Catholic Priest-Hermit by choice. Holy Souls Hermitage is dedicated to the sanctification of my fellow priests, bishops, deacons & seminarians going through the purgatory of this life or the next. Prayer and sacrifice go up, of course, for both Benedict XVI and the next Successor of Saint Peter. 
Where’s the black pall!!!
It is black. You’re seeing things.
And this was on “Dominica in albis”. Black is surely not allowed on the Octave Sunday of Easter!
What radiant joy on the face of Sister Mary Immaculata and on the faces of the other sisters who shared in her day of Blessings and Solemn Vows. How wonderful to be fufilled in service to the Lord and his Blessed Mother thru the offering of prayer and service to the church.. My heart especially shares in the love I have for and seen in the closter and those under Strict Enclosure. The dedication and complete love these woman have for the world, our Holy Father and all the Religious for which they pray. I stand in awe in these humble observations and pray more will look to the closter as a vocation…
