On August 15, 2020, our Postulant Sr. Katie Nicosia, was received into the Novitiate and will begin her formation as a Canonical Novice. The Reception Ceremony was held at Saint Teresa's Motherhouse in Germantown, New York. The Avila Sisters were present as well as invited Sisters from the Homes where Sister Katie spent her Postulancy (St. Patrick's Manor in Framingham, MA) and where she volunteered (Carmel Richmond, Staten Island, New York). Father Jim Hess, O.Carm. was the celebrant. Sister received her Carmelite habit and her name in religion- Sister Michelle Elizabeth Marie, O.Carm.
We thank God for this beautiful gift to our religious community and pray that many more young women will be drawn to give of themselves in service to God and His Church!
Congratulations, Sr. Michelle Elizabeth Marie, and may your journey in Carmel be blessed!
